Dear DT scripters,
I try to create a script which exports selections from DT windows as item für RSS 2.0 feeds.
A RSS item looks like this:
Based on another script by Christian Grunenberg I managed to fill title, link and author fields. I will later work on a way to split a selection into the header and first paragraph to use the header as the title and the first paragraph as description.
Right now I try to create a suitable pubdate information. It should look like “Sun, 19 May 2002 15:21:36 GMT”
Here’s my solution so far:
[color=green]set derTag to the characters 1 thru 3 in (weekday of (current date) as text)
set this_time to derTag & ", " & day of (current date) & " " & month of (current date) & " " & year of (current date) & " " & time string of (current date)
But this doesn’t work. I can’t read out characters 1 to 3 of the Weekday. What is wrong here? How do I get the first three chars of the weekday. I will need this later for the month as well.
Thanks for your help,
macvet
