Here is a little script that creates a test string based on some dates,
using specific month abbreviations.
I get an empty text string if I use this construct:
set weekString to {item startMonth of mnths, startDay, "‹", item endMonth of
mnths, endDay} as text
But it works with this construct:
property mnths : {"Jan.", "Feb.", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July",
"Aug.", "Sept.", "Oct.", "Nov.", "Dec."}
set rightNow to (current date)
set dayOWeek to weekday of rightNow as integer
set daysToSun to 8 - dayOWeek
set startDate to rightNow + daysToSun * days
set startMonth to month of startDate as integer
set startDay to day of startDate
set endDate to startDate + 7 * days
set endMonth to month of endDate as integer
set endDay to day of endDate
set oldDelims to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {" "}
if endMonth is not startMonth then
set weekString to {item startMonth of mnths, startDay, "‹", item
endMonth of mnths, endDay} as text
else
set weekString to {item startMonth of mnths, startDay, "‹", endDay} as
text
end if
display dialog weekString
if endMonth is not startMonth then
set weekString to {item startMonth of mnths, startDay, "‹", item
endMonth of mnths, endDay}
else
set weekString to {item startMonth of mnths, startDay, "‹", endDay}
end if
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelims
set weekString to weekString as text
display dialog weekString
