How to best obtain the current two digit year?

[cag8f]

Hi all. The `@year` macros inserts the current four digit year.  But is there a macro (or alternative) to insert the two digit year? 

If not, how would I best obtain the two digit year?  If I first obtain the four digit year as a number, is there a function I can use to strip off the first two digits?

@cag8f

ConsoleWrite("Two Digits Year: " & _TwoDigitsYear() & @CRLF)

Func _TwoDigitsYear()
    Return StringRight(@YEAR, 2)
EndFunc

Great thanks for that.  It works 🙂

With regex in 1 line
 

ConsoleWrite(StringRegExpReplace(@YEAR, "^(\d{2})", "", 0) & @CRLF)

Still in one line:

ConsoleWrite(StringRight(@YEAR, 2) & @CRLF)

Y2.1K safe solution

ConsoleWrite(@YEAR-2000 & @CRLF)

A safer way (in case someone wants to do 19xx year) :

ConsoleWrite (Mod(@YEAR, 100) & @CRLF)

by setting their system clock back?

Ya that's one possibility.  But who knows, someone could invent a machine to go back in time...AutoIt would still be useful then !

cag8f will be very sad in the year 2100-2109 because his script will output only one-digit year numbers... 😄

At least he should have received his first CoVID-19 vaccination by then (if he is lucky) .

What is that ? A new programming language ?

No, this is the long time and desperately awaited compiler for AutoIt .
