  • Thread-topic: Adding a leading zero

Steve,

thank you, just what I was looking for.
English is not my native language and I certainly hope I not was rude in any way in my answer to Michelle. I know it is an AppleScript list and was not surprised to get an AS answer. People have been asking about shell script issues before so I thougt it was in order.
My project started as an AppleScript.app start up item. The script needed a do shell script statement to get the kern.boottime and things have evolved to a shell script run as a loginhook. Thus the shell questions.

Regards
Gunno I
