comparing dates in autoit

[cherrylatte]

hi 

I'm trying to make a script that runs different functions depending on the local time of the computer

I tried to do

if _NowCalcDate < 2016/04/12 Then

 functionA()

Else

 functionB()

Endif

 

and that doesn't seem to work.

I am assuming that value returned from _NowCalcDate doesn't match with the date type I wrote

 

What should I do? I'd appreciate for any help that's given.

How about this?

#include <Date.au3>

$diff=_dateDiff("D","2016/04/11",_NowCalcDate())

if $diff >1 then
    MsgBox(0,'','less than')
ElseIf $diff =0 then
    MsgBox(0,'','same date')
Else
    MsgBox(0,'','greater than')
Endif
