Numberformat

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi David,

I tried the following script:

on mouseUp
    beep
    put 1,8 into someDate
    set the numberformat to "00.######"
    put item 1 of someDate + 0 into y
    put item 2 of someDate + 0 into someMonth
    put y & cr & someMonth
end mouseUp

which gives me

01
08
