Hey Alex,
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Nigel Garvey's ultra-fast date/time stamp handler.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
on dateTimeStamp()
tell (current date) to return (((its year) * 10000 + (its month) * 100
+ (its day)) as text) & "." & text 2 thru -1 of ((1000000 + (its hours) * 10000
+ (its minutes) * 100 + (its seconds)) as text)
end dateTimeStamp
dateTimeStamp()
--> "20150212.161608"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's what I often do when I want to be able to read the date/time stamp at a
glance:
set newFilename to "My File Name { " & (do shell script "date '+%Y.%m.%d ·
%H.%M.%S'") & " }"
--> "My File Name { 2015.02.12 · 16.28.06 }"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nigel's runs in ~ 1/1000 sec.
The shell script based one in ~ 2/100 sec.
Unless I'm saving a number of files at once I find that year, month, day,
hours, minutes, seconds provides plenty of granularity.
