changing date value

[StephenT]

Hello there,

I'm a real novice in the scripting language.

Does somebody know how to calculate with the date?

I'm daily creating reports from Monday thru Friday. The contents of the reports is from the day before and on Monday it will be from last Friday.

Now I'm running into a problem. When the 1st of the month falls on a week day, the last day of the previous month will be 00 instead for example 31.

Could anyone help me out?

The script I'm using is:

#include <Date.au3>

$curdate = _NowCalcDate()

;remove "/" from the date format
$curdate = StringReplace ( $curdate, "/", "" )

;declaration
$prevdate = $curdate - 1

MsgBox (0,"test", $prevdate&" "&$curdate)

Many thanks!

#include <Date.au3>

$sNewDate = _DateAdd( 'd', -1, _NowCalcDate())
MsgBox( 4096, "", "Today - 1 day:" & $sNewDate )

Hi.

As today is April, 1st, it's a perfect day to directly check

#include <date.au3>
ConsoleWrite(_NowCalcDate() & @CRLF)

ConsoleWrite(_DateAdd("d", -1 , _NowCalcDate()) & @CRLF)

Regards, Rudi.

Hi Zedna,

It works, thanks!

I cracked my brains but no results.

Again, thanks for taking time to check my issue!
