from apples website I got:
set timeInvestment to (current date) - (date "tirsdag 1. marts 2005 20:00:00")
this works ok as it calculates time between the 2 dates
i can get it in seconds, minutes, hours whatever no problem there
but I have a text file ( textEdit) where I have a list of fx
START: lørdag 5. marts 2005 09:10:06
END: lørdag 5. marts 2005 09:52:56
( its just a basic log in and log out )
so I tried to script the time between START and END :
set emailList to {}
tell application "TextEdit" to tell ¬
(document 1's paragraphs where it contains
"START:") to if (count) > 0 then copy paragraphs
to end of emailList
set myDt to characters 8 through 36 of item 3 of item 1 of emailList as text
set timeInvestment to (current date) - myDt
but script wont recoqnize myDt as a proper date
Says: cant convert to date or number
what is wrong ? it is the same format as apples example ?
