Sorry, but TextMate doesn’t really do AppleScript.
Does this need to be invoked from outside TextMate? Otherwise a command can do this.
Hi
It doesn't need to be invoked from outside TextMate and a command would be excellent :)
The date format I would like to name the files to be saved is:
yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss
These all go to one folder so the path is always constant, I can just put that into a variable in the script.
I don't know anything about Ruby or command line but I have got learning Ruby on my list of things "to do" :)
This ability to save a file with date and time is something I miss very much from when I was using that other editor. I used it all the time because it means that any text or html code or what-have-you can be put into a file and then saved at the click of a menu item. It means that I can work on it knowing that if the computer crashes it is okay. Then when finished I take the text/html/whatever and put it into the thing it is intended for.
