The simplest way I know how to get the string you want is this:

set current_time to (do shell script "date +\"%F %T\"")

Later...

Hey all, I'm having what I think is a simple problem, but I can't seem
to find a solution.

Currently:
set current_time to ((current date) as string)

Generates:
"Friday, October 20, 2006 8:03:57"

What I would like to get is "2006-10-20 08:03:57", can some kind soul
point me in the correct direction?  Thanks.
