string to date

[speedy6]

I get a string out a reg key, ans out of that line, I extract the date. Nuw I have to know how manny days that there are between....but he only gives me "0"

I know howcome, but how do I solve it?

Thanks

$var = RegRead(***)

$var = StringRight ($var, 23)

$var = StringLeft($var, 10)

$hdatum = _NowCalc()

$tijd = $hdatum - $var

MsgBox (4096,"",$tijd)

If I'm deciphering this correctly, I think you want to use _DateDiff in addition to _NowCalc. Just look it up to make sure you're formatting the date/time properly.
