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.

Smile has a "strftime" command to do that and any date formatting.

For instance here you would simply do:

strftime (current date) into "%F %T"
-- "2006-10-20 19:46:01"

Supports an optional "GMT" parameter to store the "Z" time.
