Thanks Has,

Would a script written using your AppleMods Date Library run when installed on another Macintosh which doesn't have the LoadServer and Library installed?

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.
