Date math question

Date math question


  • Subject: Date math question
  • From: Michelle Steiner <email@hidden>
  • Date: Mon, 9 Jun 2003 10:33:37 -0700

This works:

set foo to "jul 7"
set bar to "jun 26"
set foo to (date foo)
set bar to (date bar)
(foo - bar) / days

This doesn't:

set foo to "jul 7"
set bar to "jun 26"
(date foo) - (date bar)

"(date bar)" is highlighted, with the error as shown below:

--> Can't make date "Thursday, June 26, 2003 12:00:00 AM" into a number or date.

How come?
