I created the following in Script Editor and saved it as a script file named "Append month to selected.scpt”.
on process(input)
set vartag to (input as text)
set vartag to vartag & "," & space & (month of (current date)) as string
return vartag
end process
I opened ThisService.app and used it to open the "Append month to selected.scpt” file, then clicked “Test”, then clicked "Finish testing and create service”. Then I began to save a new TextEdit document and selected “Untitled” in the name field of the save dialog, right-clicked the selection and selected services>Append month to selected. What then appeared in the Name field of the save dialog was “Untitled, April”.
