Hi Médard, You've terribly right. Sorry to have forgot non-english systems. Thankfully a quick solution exists. By using the useSystemDate property you'll be able to force RR to use the date settings of your system. 8) Note that the scope of this property is the current handler only.
I believe that I was not clear about the calculating itself. To obtain the last day of a month, you need to pass the first date of the month as first parameter to the addToDate function. To make amends here is the function that should be useful regardless of the language of your system. 8) Try it and tell us if it works fine for you ;): on mouseUp local lMyDate set useSystemDate to true -- Use the system settings instead of the RR natural english date put the date into lMyDate answer addToDate(firstDateInMonth(lMyDate),0,1,-1) end mouseUp function firstDateInMonth pStartDate -- Return the first day in a month set useSystemDate to true convert pStartDate to dateitems put 1 into item 3 of pStartDate convert pStartDate to short date return pStartDate end firstDateInMonth function addToDate pStartDate,pAddToYear,pAddToMonth,pAddToDay -- Allows you to manipulate a date in a single pass set useSystemDate to true convert pStartDate to dateitems add pAddToYear to item 1 of pStartDate add pAddToMonth to item 2 of pStartDate add pAddToDay to item 3 of pStartDate convert pStartDate to short date return pStartDate end addToDate 2009/12/20 Medard <[email protected]>: > zryip theSlug <[email protected]> wrote: > >> An easy trick to know the end date of one month without creating >> complex script to test the number of days in the months, years >> leap, etc.. > > clever -- but that doesn't work on "foreign" systems > i.e. non english languages ;-) > > it is still funny to see Revolution to declare some parameter to be "not > a date" as you prior performed a "put the system" date into fld "xxx" > ;-> > > so, the starting date MUST be an "english" one, I mean a "US" date, > according to the yyyy/dd/mm scheme > > my "system date" is yyyy-mm-dd > (avoiding the slash, used in Unix as file/folder delimitor) > > Anyway, after sticking to those caveats, the provided code gives exactly > what it is intended for, i.e. the date a month minus a day ahead -- not > the end of the month ;-)) _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
