Adding/subtracting to @MDAY

[covaks]

So, today is the 8th, and @MDAY = "08". Shouldn't @MDAY -1 = "07"?

Instead,

msgbox(1,"",@MDAY -1)

returns "7".. Similarly, adding to @MDAY also removes the leading 0 for dates between 01-09.

Is this a bug? Or am I not adding/subtracting from @MDAY properly? Or is it just not meant for that kind of thing?

Do this action in calculator. 08 - 1 = 7, 0 is omitted.

Most macro's are strings. In order to perform any calculation on them, they will

automatically be converted to the appropiate variable type by AutoIt.

At least, that's my understanding of & experience with them

Yeah, I guess that makes sense. There's no "Date" type, so it doesn't make sense for me to expect a 07.. I'm just tired, not thinking straight.. heh.

I fixed my problem by adding a check for days between 01-09 and just adding the "0" manually.

Thanks.
