Lua Date & Time Library

[Dermot]

Very nice OOP style Lua date & time library here http://luaforge.net/frs/?group_id=209&release_id=508

Just drop the date.lua file in the Scripts folder and add require("date") to your globals. There is a very good help file included.

Example of the diff method

-- get the days between two dates
local diff = date.diff("Jan 7 2010", "Jan 12 2010")
Dialog.Message("Diff", diff:spandays())

There is also spanhours, spanminutes and spanseconds methods

You can also do cool stuff like this

local a = date("Jan 7 2010")
local b = date("Jan 12 2010")

local days = (b-a):spandays()

Thanks Dermot!

The license agreement strictly prohibits the making of an AMS plugin from this library. :)

Seriously though, this does not need to be made into a plugin. It is one small lua file and it is very very easy to use.

No indeed, you could copy-paste the code to globals lol. I must say,
I laughed when I read the in-script comment 'keep out of reach of children.' haha :yes
