It seems that the Unicode date formatting doesn’t offer a way to specify that the month or day names should be returned in uppercase. I was able to write a Perl script and to nest the ,getdate snippet to convert the first and third words to uppercase. I set my abbreviation to ,date and my Content: to Shell Script:
#!/usr/bin/perl $_ = "%snippet:,getdate%"; m/(\S+) (\S+) (\S+)(.*)/; $_ = ucfirst($1) . " $2 " . ucfirst($3) . "$4"; print "$_\n";Here is what ,date returns right now with my system set to return date information in Spanish: Miércoles 13 Octubre 2010 – día 286 del año That which wasn’t possible before is possible now, thanks to the power of shell scripts in TextExpander.
