Re: Deleteing Based On Dates
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2002
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 41166
interpreted = N
texte = If you are on WC4.x, you can set the century break in WebCat preferences - if you set it to, say 50, then all 2-digit dates <= 50 will be assumed to be in the 2000's, while those >50 will be assumed to be in the 1900's.Execute this code: [math]{06/15/2002}[/math]
[math]{06/15/02}[/math]
They will be the same if WC thinks 02 is 2002. If they aren't, then adjust you're WC Preferences, then (hopefully) the delete will work for you.- brianAt 4:42 PM 7/2/02, Arturo Vargas wrote: >I was having a similar problem earlier. >the reason I was having the problem was that the field that contained the >date was formated dd/mm/yy >and the [math] comand produces a date formated dd/mm/yyyy > >also it is easier for me to debug my code if I do this: > >[math date]mydate={[date]}-{00/07/0000}[/math] >[delete db=[log]&leDTdatarq=[mydate]&DTtype=date] > > >that way I am sure that I am producing mydate correctly. > >Also you can try hardcoding [mydate] with the right value, to see if that >works: > > >ART > >-----Original Message----- >From: WebCatalog Talk [mailto:WebDNA-Talk@talk.smithmicro.com]On Behalf >Of Glenn Busbin >Sent: Tuesday, July 02, 2002 4:24 PM >To: WebCatalog Talk >Subject: Re: Deleteing Based On Dates > > >>I want to delete all entries that are 7 days old: >> >>[delete db=[log]&leDTdatarq=[math >>date]{[date]}-{00/07/0000}[/math]&DTtype=date] >> >>Deletes everything in the database (There are things in there from the 17th >>of June) >> >>Ideas? > >You aren't using Date as a field name, are you? > >Glenn > >------------------------------------------------------------- >This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to > the mailing list
