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.
