Does anybody have handlers (or script objects) for handling dates
that are available publicly or they are happy to make public.
The AppleMods Date library <http://applemods.sourceforge.net> can
both parse and format arbitrary date strings, e.g.:
-- auto-generated library loading code
property _Loader : run application "LoaderServer"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-- DEPENDENCIES
property _Date : missing value
on __load__(loader)
set _Date to loader's loadLib("Date")
end __load__
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-- main code
__load__(_Loader's makeLoader()) -- load libraries
set p to _Date's makeParser("yyyy mm dd HH MM SS") -- make a parser object
p's parseText("2004:01:21 13:55:29") -- parse string
--> {date "Wednesday, January 21, 2004 1:55:29 pm", missing value} --
date and timezone (if any)
If you've not used AppleMods' libraries before, you'll need to
download and install AppleMods' Loader system first
<http://applemods.sourceforge.net/getstarted.html>. Run the Loader
installer, then download and add the Date library to the ASLibraries
folder. You can use the LoaderWizard applet to generate the library
loading code to paste at the top of your script.
