Subtraction of Strings

wolle7

Hi,

I want to get the difference of two dates. I can't use the _DateDiff Function because I get one of the strings from a source that already formatted it like it is.

I'm not able to get the difference of these strings. What am I doing wrong ?

Code

#include <Date.au3>
$olddate = "20110307"
$today = StringReplace(_NowCalcDate(),"/", "")
$diff_date = ("int($today)" - "int($olddate)") 
MsgBox(0,"Test", "Today:" & $today & " Old Date:" & $olddate & " Diff Date:" & $diff_date)

Cheers Wolle

Format the string correctly and use DateDiff().
For example:

Spoiler anzeigen

[autoit]

#include <Date.au3>
$olddate = "20110307"

[/autoit] [autoit][/autoit] [autoit]

; format the the date string:
$olddateFormated = StringLeft($olddate, 4) & "/" & StringMid($olddate, 5,2) & "/" & StringRight($olddate, 2)
MsgBox(0,"$olddateFormated", $olddateFormated)

[/autoit] [autoit][/autoit] [autoit]

MsgBox(0,"Test", "Today:" & _NowCalcDate() & @CRLF & "Old Date:" & $olddateFormated & @CRLF & "Diff Date: " & _DateDiff("D", $olddateFormated, _NowCalcDate()) & " days")

[/autoit]
