ToyBoi Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 quick question here. @mday give you the date number for today, but what if you needed the date number for yesterday?

GEOSoft Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) _DateToDayValue() Returns the Juliandate (days since noon 4713 BC January 1)Is the text for that link 2454892.5 ? Post an example of the link and we can help you. EDIT: Here is the test code for the above. Always test your code as you go. #include <Date.au3> $Date = _DateToDayValue (@YEAR, @MON, @MDAY) $Date = $Date - 1 MsgBox(0, "Results", $Date) And it could also have been written as #include <Date.au3> $Date = _DateToDayValue (@YEAR, @MON, @MDAY-1) MsgBox(0, "Results", $Date) Edited March 3, 2009 by GEOSoft George Question about decompiling code?

ToyBoi Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) thanks to both for the help, both methods work find, I'm using @mday-1 for simplicity. It's just a standard web based calendar that I was trying to work with. I didn't know what julian date meant. It seems pretty ridiculous then if _DateToDayValue() returns 2454892.5, I can't think of a situation where you would need such a function.

SpookMeister Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) You may run into an issue with @mday - 1 What happens when @mday = 1? Will 0 fit your needs still? We still have not seen an example of the link data you are trying to match so we can't know for certain. btw Julian dates can be very helpful when you are trying to figure out something like... Say you want to delete any file that is over 30 days old.... How do you compute the difference in age when you are talking about the turn of the month and or the turn of the year? converting current date and file date to julian gives you a proper reference to compare them to.

ToyBoi Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) oh my god, you are right!the problem with this calendar is that you can only click on the date that is yesterday, because this website only has yesterday's data, not today's, so today's date would be grayed out.here is the picture, so then would you recommend #include <Date.au3> $sNewDate = _DateAdd( 'd', -1, _NowCalcDate())or maybe that code has the same problem?or maybe worst comes to worst, maybe i can say if @mday= 1 then $date = 31 or something Edited March 3, 2009 by ToyBoi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEOSoft Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Post a link to that page. There will be a way to get it, I'm just not sure what it is without seeing the source for the page.

ToyBoi Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) i don't think I can, because it is in a private corporate network, but if you look at the calendar,the dates that aren't grayed out from 26 to 18, are clickable, and you can use IEclicklinkbytext. If I wanted to go to the previous month, I can simply use a link from the site in the form of http:// ............ monthID=1 and that will take me to January Edited March 3, 2009 by ToyBoi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEOSoft Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) Thats it but I think we better leave this for Dale to look at. They are using Javascript to get it. The date format they are looking for is Year-Month-Day. I just don't think that _IELinkClickByText () will do it but Dale will know for sure BTW $Date would be $Date = @Year & "-" & @Mon & "-" & @MDay-1 But you would still have to do some error checking and correction in case the day was 1 Edited March 3, 2009 by GEOSoft George Question about decompiling code?
