Compare date of file

[jbennett]

Hi everyone,

I've got this piece of code i'm playing with and wondering if someone could let me know how I can extend this so that after it adds a day to the date in the .ini it will then compare with current system date and it it's the same then a msgbox will display.

Any ideas?. Thanks very much

#include <Date.au3>

$input = iniread("test.ini","BACKUP","run_next?","")

$temp = StringRight($input,4) & "/" & StringMid($input,3,2) & "/" & StringLeft($input,2)
MsgBox(0, "", "Converted input date: " & $temp)

$output = _DateAdd('d', 1, $temp)

iniwrite("test.ini","BACKUP","run_next?",$output)

MsgBox(0, "", "Newly calculated date: " & $output & @CRLF & "(Or in case 0, error message: " & @error & " ) ")

I like your line of code for converting the date format...

Compare your date with the return from _NowCalcDate():

If $output = _NowCalcDate() Then MsgBox(64, "Ta Da!", "Today's the day!")

Hehe thanks

The only problem with my code is that it gets the date from the .ini file like this "20102008" and when I run the code it changes the date but then the next time I run it the code gets confused as it can't find "ddmmyyyy" as it's now "dd/mm/yyyy". Arghhh

Also to get my other code working I have to check if the system date is newer than the date in the .ini before doing anything else. All will be revealed shortly if I can just get over this last hurdle

Thanks
