I can create a script that will do that for you, but I want
details on how you want to use the date.  Specifically, do you
want to send the date to a file, emulating like typing the keys
yourself, or what?

Re: How can I set up a hotkey to insert date in yyMMDD format

I would like to emulate typing the keys, e.g. when I receive an E-
mail attachment I would like to keep, in the File/save dialog box, I 
would like to begin naming the attachment "021106 ..." by just 
hitting a hotkey combination. But I don't know how to *Keys the 
specific date format I want.

Once I understand the principle of getting the date, I think I'll be 
able to figure out the rest if I want to have separate hotkeys 
for "021106 Letter from ..." or "021106 Report re ..." etc.

Thanks very much for your help. I like to figure these things out for 
myself, but when I saw that *Info yyMMdd displays "yyMMdd" while 
*info yy-MM-dd displays "02-11-06" I realized I was in over my head.

To send the keys you describe, use the following statement. Please
understand that the statement wraps because of the e-mail. Before
using the statement, make sure it doesn't wrap.

Keys &(select(date, 3, 4) ++ select(date, 5, 6) ++ select(date, 7,
8))

If you need more help, do not hesitate to ask.  You can either
embed the above statement into a script and run it from a hotkey,
or associate it directly to your hokey.

Have fun...

Forgot to mention that your expression character must be & in
order for this to work.  If you have another expression character,
replace & with your own expression character.  You can set your
expression character by going to the Setup tab.  Then go to
'Advanced setup' -> 'Characters' and add the expression character
of your choice in the 'Expression in () follows:' box.  I hope
I've been clear enough.

 Thanks *very* much - I've got the one you sent running as a hotkey 
and it works just as I wanted. Also, based on what you sent, I now 
found the relevant part of the help files and understand how the 
select string works and can figure out how to do a similar shortcut 
to get just the year and month.  Thank you again.

No problem.  Use what YahooGroups@... suggested, since it
is the same thing with less overhead.  Sorry for the trouble. :)

You can make it shorter
