An AppleScript to easily backup Uplink save game files

Uh... when I submitted the hint, the last line was "launch application 'Uplink'" not "launch application 'TextEdit'"

An AppleScript to easily backup Uplink save game files

You do not need to combine date with awk, date has its own formatting ability (man date for info). For example, I typically use this:

/bin/date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'

which produces a date like "2003-06-05 10:09:26" which then sorts correctly in the Finder (or anywhere) so that you can sort by name and always see the correct date order of your entries.
