Simple adding year problem

[cubedude76]

I'm not sure why this is outputting the current year 2017 in stead of 2018. Any ideas?

Code: Select all

CurrentYear =  %A_Now%
EnvAdd, CurrentYear, 525600 , Minutes ;525600 mins = 1 year
FormatTime, NextYear,CurrentYear , yyyy
msgbox, %NextYear% ;why does this output the current year?

Im quite curious about this one too actually

Try %CurrentYear% in your format time.

That might work. If not I'll look at it again closer.

Also why not just add 366 days? I guess that doesn't matter.

Code: Select all

; CurrentYear = %A_Now% ; traditional mode to assign a value to a variable
; or
CurrentYear := A_Now  ; expressional mode
EnvAdd, CurrentYear, 525600, Minutes
FormatTime, NextYear, %CurrentYear%, yyyy
msgbox, %NextYear%

EnvAdd, CurrentYear, 525600, Minutes
FormatTime, NextYear, %CurrentYear%, yyyy
msgbox, %NextYear%

Fails on 1st January of a leap year!

You were just missing the % prefix in the third line to force an expression, that's all:

Code: Select all

CurrentYear =  %A_Now%
EnvAdd, CurrentYear, 525600 , Minutes ;525600 mins = 1 year
FormatTime, NextYear, % CurrentYear, yyyy
msgbox, %NextYear% ;why does this output the current year?

Alternatively:

Code: Select all

FormatTime, NextYear, %CurrentYear%, yyyy

Also, why not just this?:

Code: Select all

NextYear := A_YYYY + 1
MsgBox % NextYear

Adding 1 is simpler than adding 525600 and it saves you the extra step of formatting the time as well as working on the 1st of January of a leap year.
