Can Scan Text Date extract a /21.04.20 and how do I make that the created date?

This actually requires scripting.

Due to an issue @cgrunenberg would have to respond to, this also requires an external script. I have attached the script which should be put into ~/Library/Application Scripts/com.devon-technologies.think3/Smart Rules.

The smart rule should be adjusted like so…

Creation Date from Text_SR.scpt.zip (2.3 KB)


For @cgrunenberg:

This handler can’t be used in a smart rule embedded script…

on convertDate(scrapedDate)
	return date scrapedDate
end convertDate

It does work in an external script, hence my approach above.
