Sorry for the crosspost, but there have been no messages in
alt.comp.lang.applescript since last March.

I am working on a Numbers spreadsheet that gets populated with data pasted in
from a text file. Among that data is a column of dates in the "2018-05-11
13:00:00" format. I can ensure that Numbers recognizes them as dates with
something like:

set selection range to range ("E3:E146")
set the format of selection range to date and time

But I would like the dates to look more like "Fri, May 11, 2018 1:00 PM". This
is very easily dome within Numbers; there are numerous date formats available. I
just can't figure out the incantation within AppleScript that can perform that
formatting.

Ideas? Thanks.
