noobieautolearn Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) The issue I'm having seems relatively straight forward, but I've run into an issue an I wonder if there is a work around. If I run the code below I get : ==> Variable cannot be accessed in this manner.: #include <Date.au3> $sDateTime = "2016/01/31 23:00:00" $sDateTime2 = _DateAdd('d', 1, $sDateTime()) MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Date: " & $sDateTime2) If I run the code below it works. #include <Date.au3> $sDateTime2 = _DateAdd('d', 1, "2016/01/31 23:00:00"()) MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Date: " & $sDateTime2) Is there a work around for this? I want to take a date that is stored in a variable from earlier in the script and add a day to it. Edited May 23, 2018 by noobieautolearn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted May 23, 2018 Moderators Share Posted May 23, 2018 Your first one will work if you take the () out after $sDateTime. It is a variable, not a function.

Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted May 23, 2018 Moderators Share Posted May 23, 2018 Your second example did not work for me, until I took the () out. What version of AutoIt, and what version of Windows, are you using? "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.

I have SciTE-Lite version Version 3.5.4 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted May 24, 2018 Moderators Share Posted May 24, 2018 Which makes sense, as Scite-Lite would not perform the AU3Check syntax check before running.
