I am converting the short date (08/16/13) to seconds and I get 1376625600 My question is "Is the converted seconds always that many digits when converted from that type of date?"
The reason I ask is I am making filenames by merging a name like "Thomas" or "Tom" with the date converted to seconds as in "Thomas1376625600.txt" or "Tom1376625600.txt" I would like to script this conversion like: put char -10 to the number of chars of tFilename into tSeconds put char 1 to -10 of tFilename into tName --put "1376625600" into tSeconds convert tSeconds to short date and now tName should be either "Tom" or "Thomas" regardless of length and tSeconds will be "08/16/13" so I can use them in my app. This will not work if the converted seconds ever gets longer ( over the next twenty or thirty years or so). So, Does the converted seconds always stay at 10 digits in this scenario?
