Thanks for the info but two issues that pop up when I try this are

leading zeros
so you can hook the [makefilename %02d] directly to [date]/[time].
if I split everything out as floats. 2) when I pipe the messagebox [ $1$2$3$4$5$6$7$8$9$10$11$12$13$14 ] into the | add $1 | textfile
i'm a bit confused what exactly you mean here.
i'd suggest to use the "standard" ascii-rendering of Pd's graphical elements: [foo] <-- object-box with "foo" [bar( <-- message-box with "bar" [...\ <-- number/symbol-box | <-- connection line
so your patch should look something like:
[$1$2$3$4$5$6$7$8$9$10$11$12$13$14( | [add $1( | [textfile]
this basically does not work, because the first message-box (with all those dollars), will create a message with a _selector_ "19780729093021" and no atoms. now "$1" in [add $1( will get replaced by the 1st atom of the incoming message. since your message does not have any atoms, it will be replaced by "0" (and you should get an error on the Pd-console)
the proper way to fix this, is by providing an explicit selector, e.g. [symbol $1$2$3$4$5$6$7$8$9$10$11$12$13$14( (which will create a message with the selector "symbol" and one atom "19780729093021")
