where "2010-01-01 00:00:00 -0500" is the date that I want to capture.
Since before ASOC, I've used a handler (based on observations made by the fine folk at macscripter.net) to convert an ISO time string to an AppleScript date, since those are used in various places such as Spotlight metadata (and now, Cocoa). Although there isn't an "official" conversion in there for whatever reason, the «class isot» object has been in use for a while:
on run -- example set x to "2010-01-01 00:00:00 -0500" set theDate to convertISOToDate(x) log the result display dialog x & return & theDate -- as text end run
to convertISOToDate(ISOText) (* convert an ISO date/time string to a date using the hexdump shell script parameters - ISOText [text]: ISO date/time returns [mixed]: the ISO string as class date (or original text if error) *) try -- get a hexdump of the input date do shell script "echo " & quoted form of (ISOText as text) & "| xxd -u -p" -- add class header and convert return (run script "get «data isot" & (text 1 thru -3 of the result) & "»") as date on error errorMessage -- oops log errorMessage return ISOText end try end convertISOToDate
