Personally, I always have a BBEdit worksheet open. It's likely that I executed a bbedit tool command to open the file I'm working on anyway. In that worksheet there is a line like this date | pbcopy All I have to do is select the line and push the ENTER key. Today's date and time are placed on the clipboard and I can paste them anywhere I want in the document I'm editing. You can also specify the format of the string returned by the date tool; man date at the bottom of the worksheet for all of that. -- --> If the US citizens between 18 and 21 would exercise their right to vote we wouldn't have a 21 year drinking age. <-- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
