Get the difference between 2 dates in RegEx (ASP Classic)
asked on
Hello All;
I need to get the different between 2 dates inside of a RegEx script.
The following script demonstrates one that works, and the other that does not work.
I know there has to be a way to do this.
Any idea's?

Function Reggex(strString, strPattern, strReplace)
Dim RE: Set RE = New RegExp
With RE
.Pattern = strPattern
.Global = True
.IgnoreCase = True
Reggex = .Replace(strString, strReplace)
End With
End Function
Function ReplaceChar(strString)
fromDate="1-Jan-2000"
toDate=date
strString = Reggex(strString, "\[BusDate\]", ""&DateDiff("yyyy",fromDate,toDate)&"")
'This will give the output of 16 (being that it is 2016 now)
'However, what I need is to be able to type in the 2 dates.
strString = Reggex(strString, "\[theDate:([^\]]+)\|(.*?)\]", ""&DateDiff("yyyy","$1","$2")&"")
'However, the output in this example, will give me 1 (ONE)
ReplaceChar = strString
End Function
working = "[Busdate]"
testing = "[theDate:1950|2016]"
%>
Working: <%=ReplaceChar(working)%><br />
Non-working: <%=ReplaceChar(testing)%>
