How can I have Quicksilver type a timestamp?

Question

I'd like Quicksilver to type a timestamp for me of the format 2010-10-15 13:42. Does anybody know how to do this?

Answer 1

Not sure what you want exactly. Assuming you just want a timestamp in your QS so you can copy/paste it to somewhere else, install the command line plugin if you haven't already, it will put qs into your path. Then you can do date "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" | qs from the shell and it will put the result into a quicksilver window.

Now if you put the above into a script which you invoke from QS, you should have what you want, assuming I correctly guessed what you wanted :)
