Hi there!
I want an Applescript that will grab the modified date of a file selected in
Yojimbo.
Here is how I want it to work:
1) Select file in Yojimbo
2) Execute an applescript. (either from the Script menu, or Quicksilver or
TypeIt4Me/TextExpander)
3) The Applescript gets the Modified date of the selected file
4) The applescript returns the modified date in form yymmdd_hh-mm-ss
Basically I'm thinking of creating a TypeIt4Me snippet that executes this
applescript and returns me that value when I am renaming files in Yojimbo.
Below is a script I use to do the same thing, but in the Finder. i.e. the
script gives me the modified date of a file selected in the Finder. I want
to do a similar thing in Yojimbo.
Any ideas?
[code]
tell application "Finder" to repeat with MyItem in (get selection)
do shell script "mdls " & quoted form of POSIX path of (MyItem as text)
& " | grep 'kMDItemContentModificationDate' | awk '/ = / {print $3,$4}'"
tell the result to set ModDate to text 3 thru 4 & text 6 thru 7 & text 9
thru 10 & "_" & text 12 thru 13 & "-" & text 15 thru 16 & "-" & text 18 thru
19
-- display dialog "Modification date: " & ModDate with title (get name
of MyItem)
return ModDate
end repeat
[/code]
