Simple task just my brain is going to break..

[Jack023]

Hey all,

After hours of coding i came on a part where i really need to think about it..

It has to go about registration

Let's say my registration date is : 2013-10-06

Year - Month - Day

Now i want make a registration checker like

$day = InputBox("Day", "Day:", "")
$month = InputBox("Month", "Month:", "")
$year = InputBox("Year", "Year:", "")

then ,

If the $year is the same or higher AND $year < @year then do

then check the date 

but here is my problem my brain is failed hard right now so i need your help , if we are in the same year as 2013 then check the month , if he registratedin 2012 but we are in 2013 not needed to check day and month ofc because it dont care if its lower or higher

What i have now:

$day = InputBox("Day", "Day:", "")
$month = InputBox("Month", "Month:", "")
$year = InputBox("Year", "Year:", "")
If $year >= $regyear And $year <= @YEAR Then

EndIf 

Thanks in advance

What are you wanting for the final outcome? If a date is before or after another date, or if the entered date is longer than some preset limit compared to the registered date? Such as, if the registered date is more than 12 months before the present date?

[Jack023]

What i just mean , if they enter a date before their registration date of above the current date.

then it will msgbox a error , else welldone

Check out _DateDiff() to calculate this.

Well , then i can see the date difference

If i fill in 2012 then its date difference 1 , but when i fill in 2014 its also 1 so not good imo ?

Show some code that demonstrates your issue so we have something to look at and correct.

$regyear = StringTrimRight($trimreg,6)
$leftregmonth = StringTrimLeft($trimreg,5)
$regmonth = StringTrimRight($leftregmonth,3)
$regday = stringtrimleft($trimreg, 8)
;;;
;~ $day = InputBox("Day", "Day:", "")
;~ $month = InputBox("Month", "Month:", "")
;~ $year = InputBox("Year", "Year:", "")
If $year >= $regyear And $year <= @YEAR Then
    If $year = $regyear Then
        If $month >= @MON Then
            If $day 
EndIf

this is what i have , 

What i exactly want if the date is under the current date but above the registration date then give the information

else

ERROR

Post something that we can play with.... This is not even close.

Here's one way of doing it that just converts the year month and day into a string and does a quick comparison.
 

$regdate = "20123112" ; December 31, 2012
$todaysDate = @YEAR & @MON & @MDAY
$inputYear = InputBox("Enter year as yyyy", "")
$inputMonth = InputBox("Enter month as mm", "")
$inputDay = InputBox("Enter day as dd", "")
$enteredDate = $inputYear & $inputMonth & $inputDay
If $regdate > $enteredDate And $enteredDate < $todaysDate Then
    MsgBox("", "Earlier", "The entered date is earlier than the registered date")
ElseIf $regdate = $enteredDate And $enteredDate < $todaysDate Then
    MsgBox("", "Same", "The entered dates are the same")
Else
    MsgBox("", "After", "The entered date is after than the registered date")
EndIf

This doesn't do ANY error or entry checking, and it only tests that the date entered is less than today, and compares it to the registered date.

as i said ,

Lets say regyear = 2013

regmonth = 10

regday = 24

and with something we can play with , i got headage about thinking about this..

I just want , if the date what is entered using inputbox is higher then the regyear,month and day AND lower then current time then msgbox(0, "" , "Well Done"

Else

msgbox(0, "", "Error")

EDIT:

Let me test this wait
