$Date_Add Function

[YuraB 4]

I just wanted to share function that I wrote for adding time interval to specific date. It seems that UBOT missing basic date manipulation functions, so I decided to write my own. I hope it will be useful to someone

 

define $date_add(#d, #interval, #ivalue) {
    if($comparison(#interval,"=","SECONDS")) {
        then {
            set(#st,$eval("var d=new Date('{#d}');d.setSeconds(d.getSeconds()+{#ivalue});d;"),"Local")
        }
    }
    if($comparison(#interval,"=","MINUTES")) {
        then {
            set(#st,$eval("var d=new Date('{#d}');d.setMinutes(d.getMinutes()+{#ivalue});d;"),"Local")
        }
    }
    if($comparison(#interval,"=","HOURS")) {
        then {
            set(#st,$eval("var d=new Date('{#d}');d.setHours(d.getHours()+{#ivalue});d;"),"Local")
        }
    }
    if($comparison(#interval,"=","DAYS")) {
        then {
            set(#st,$eval("var d=new Date('{#d}');d.setDate(d.getDate()+{#ivalue});d;"),"Local")
        }
    }
    if($comparison(#interval,"=","MONTHS")) {
        then {
            set(#st,$eval("var d=new Date('{#d}');d.setMonth(d.getMonth()+{#ivalue});d;"),"Local")
        }
    }
    set(#MM,$eval("var d1=new Date('{#st}');('0'+(d1.getMonth()+1)).slice(-2);"),"Local")
    set(#DD,$eval("var d1=new Date('{#st}');('0'+d1.getDate()).slice(-2);"),"Local")
    set(#YYYY,$eval("var d1=new Date('{#st}');d1.getFullYear();"),"Local")
    set(#hh,$eval("var d1=new Date('{#st}');('0'+d1.getHours()).slice(-2);"),"Local")
    set(#mm,$eval("var d1=new Date('{#st}');('0'+d1.getMinutes()).slice(-2);"),"Local")
    set(#ss,$eval("var d1=new Date('{#st}');('0'+d1.getSeconds()).slice(-2);"),"Local")
    return("{#MM}/{#DD}/{#YYYY} {#hh}:{#mm}:{#ss}")
}

Here is how you can use it:
 

alert($date_add($date, "MONTHS", "-2"))
alert($date_add($date, "MONTHS", "1"))
alert($date_add($date, "SECONDS", "60"))
alert($date_add($date, "MINUTES", "5"))
alert($date_add($date, "HOURS", "4"))
alert($date_add($date, "DAYS", "10"))

For example, you can call some function as many times as possible for the next 5 minutes:
 

set(#tmpDate,$date_add($date, "MINUTES", "5"),"Global")
loop while($comparison($date,"<",#tmpDate)) {
    callMyFunction
}

Ubot is missing it but there is a plugin for it: http://ubotdev.com/free-plugin-datetime-manipualtion

 

But good job nonetheless

HelloInsomnia, maybe I miss something but the plugin you mentioned does only date formatting.

I didn't find any reference to adding time interval to the given date.

 

Please correct me if I'm wrong

[HelloInsomnia 1103]

Yep you can do time conversions and outputs in pretty much any format you can think of. It's free so give it a try and if you get stuck let me know maybe I'll be able to help you.

HelloInsomnia, that the thing, I don't need date conversion/formatting, all I needed is adding interval functionality. Your plugin does not do that.

[HelloInsomnia 1103]

It's not my plugin, but anyways I misread what you meant and I see what it does now. I thought you wanted to convert time zones and not manipulate the date/time in the fashion your function does.
