What exactly are you trying to do? A little more detail would help quite a bit.

I think you mean how to save dates in AutoIt.

This will give you a start.

If I'm missing something here, its 5am where I am

Say thanksgiving (last thu of nov)... how do you code that?

Edit: American Thanksgiving is the 4th Thursday in November, not the last Thursday.

use the code below this box.

#include <Date.au3>
; get date of Thanksgiving USA for current year (last Thursday of November)
For $i = 0 To 6
    $ThanksgivingDate = 30 - $i
    If _DateToDayOfWeek(@YEAR, 11, $ThanksgivingDate) = 5 Then ExitLoop
Next
MsgBox( 4096, "", "Thanksgiving USA is:" & @CRLF &  "Nov " & $ThanksgivingDate & ", " & @YEAR)
ConsoleWrite("+Thanksgiving USA " & @YEAR & " is: Nov " & $ThanksgivingDate & @CRLF & @CRLF)

; runs if date is Thanksgiving USA
If Number(@MON) = 11 And Number(@WDAY) = 5 And (30 - Number(@MDAY)) < 7 Then
    MsgBox( 4096, "", "Today is Thanksgiving USA " & @CRLF & "Nov " & @MDAY & ", " & @YEAR)
