This script prompts for an end-date and then creates an email, with an ascii table of clocked time in the current week (starting on the Monday prior to the date entered through to that date), and a running total of the previous weeks in the current month. It's very specific to the format that I have been using to submit invoices for billable time to one of my clients, which is why I didn't bother to post it to the TaskPaper wiki.

Also, if you need to track separate billable time for multiple projects, you'd need to have a separate taskpaper file for each project, or adjust the code to limit itself to collecting CLOCK lines from just the project that the cursor is in when you call the script... I haven't gotten round to doing that myself since I only charge by the hour to one client at the moment. Go ahead and fork a copy of the script and hack away though!

Turns out the original assumed EU date formats in your system settings, which causes AppleScript to barf if you try to coerce an EU format date string to a date object. This version first tries to coerce an EU format date, and if that fails tries again with a US format date... so it should work in any locale now.
