Hi
I have a script where i write the boottime to a file with this line:
do shell script "/usr/sbin/sysctl kern.boottime > " & myPosixPath
The result looks like this:
kern.boottime = Wed Apr 5 08:34:12 2006
I am only interested in the time part, text 28 thru 35, which I extract when
I read the file.
I would like to extract this part before writing to the file. I suppose it
can be done with a regex after kern.boottime and before the redirection to
the file. Something like:
do shell script "/usr/sbin/sysctl kern.boottime | [a regex] | > " &
myPosixPath
but I don't know how.
Thanks
Gunno I
