Hello
I am using this to put a date into the subject of an email created by an applescript.
do shell script "date +'%B %Y'" which gives me "February 2014" for this month's emails
However, some of my emails require last month's date, so for emails sent in February the output should be "January 2014"
I have tried:
do shell script "date +'%B -1 month %Y'"
but the output is "February -1 month 2014"".
Also any variations I have tried do not work either. I have searched for this on the Internet but have found none, except masses of Unix code lines which I am sure are not required for this simple shell script.
Can someone help me with this?
TIA
James
set fake to current date set day of fake to 1 set fake to fake - (1 * days) set myString to (month of fake as text) & space & year of fake
I'm quite sure that it's faster than the code triggering do shell script
