send time issues

[13lack13lade 21]

Hey guys,

I have a script that currently uses nowcalcdate to give me today and yesterdays date.. in the current format e.g 020314 ddmmyy and worked fine however now it is sending 2014/03/02

Need it to be fixed to return values in ddmmyy format and im not sure whats happened for it to suddenly change how it is sent..

Func _Convert($date)
         Return StringRegExpReplace($date, '\d\d(\d\d)/(\d\d)/(\d\d)', '$3$2$1')
      EndFunc
      $today = _NowCalcDate()
      $yesterday = _DateAdd('d', -1, $today)

Can you post some code that can be tested.

The above does not show your problem.

That is the only code i use besides 

Send($yesterday)

send($today)

as send key strokes to get the date values entered into the system..

You probably need to include the appropriate header then to start.

Also, what is the function you posted for?

There is some more of the script... i just need $yesterday to be yesterdays date to be sent in ddmmyy format and $today to send todays date in ddmmyy format.. it worked absolutely fine then one day just broke..so im not sure whats happened guessing the function is what is used to change from yyyymmdd to ddmmyy as someone on the forum previously helped me but i cant seem to find it.

Found my previous post 

However that is the exact code im using and for some reason its not changing the format...

#include <date.au3>

$today = _NowCalcDate()
MsgBox(0,"Today", _Convert($today))
$yesterday = _DateAdd('d', -1, $today)
MsgBox(0,"Yesterday", _Convert($yesterday))

Func _Convert($date)
    Return StringRegExpReplace($date, '\d\d(\d\d)/(\d\d)/(\d\d)', '$3$2$1')
EndFunc   ;==>_Convert

To make your script more reliable I suggest to replace Send with ControlSend.
