Get the difference between 2 dates in RegEx (ASP Classic)
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?

I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish with your example code. Could you just give some examples of strings and the resulting date differences you need to calculate?
In this line here
[theDate:1950|2016]
basically, I want to be able to place 2 years, no matter what they are together.
And have it calculate the output on the live site.
So, if I do an article where the person was born 1945, and they died 1998, then It will calculate there age (53)
Something like that.

But, 'age' is a step function and not merely the difference in years. For instance, The difference between this year and my birth year is 61. However, I won't actually turn 61 until the fourth quarter.

Nice, but it changes up my code way to much, which will break all the tags on over 100 pages and growing.
Writing the way you have it here.
<%=ReplaceChar(testing, "\[theDate:([^|]+)\|([^\]]
I cannot do.
It has to be the way that I had it in the demo, in order for it to work in my project.

I love the script, it is nice.
But, it will not work within my existing site.

Since you have only shown a snippet of the code and two examples, it wasn't possible to answer your question without the expected side effects. How about describing the problem without code and give at least as many examples as your data configurations.
For example:
I need a general purpose routine that will replace tags in my document with different date/year differences, depending on the nature of the tag. There are four possible configurations of tag text as follows:
*

In the example that I provided, it shows what I need to do.
There is not very much more that I can say really.
Using the same code that I provided.
I need to be able to take 2 dates, that I insert into the tag.
And have the output to be the resulting number.
This could be a comparison between a
Birth year and Death year
Start year and End year
Start date and today's date (in ASP will be toDate=date(), there for it will grab the date itself)
See, this is needed, so that I do not have to go in and update every page on the site, with a new date.
There is over 100 articles on the site so far.
By the summer, that could be up to OR over 1,000 articles and counting.
If I have to edit dates across, just 1/4 of them articles, it would be a complete nightmare.
I hope that this helps.

IMPORTANT!!!
This ReplaceChar()
Is full with over 50 different tags.
So, I cannot change it, I need something, that I can simply just add to the exist function..
I hope that this helps.

That replace code that I posted at the top here.
This is my actual code.
It is just 2 parts inside, instead of all of it.
The example that I posted, it what I am using.
There is nothing different from what I posted..
This is it, this is the code that I am using.... just with 2 tags.

There needs to be something in one or more of the routines, that takes the presence of submatches into consideration. Your replacement value is dependent on this.
Either that or two separate routines for simple replace and submatch-dependent replacing.

You lost me on what you just wrote.
You seem to be very intelligent in your work, and I can tell it by the articles that you have written.
However, with what you just wrote, it is completely over my head, as bad as it is to say that, it is.
You explain to me, exactly what you need from me, and I will try to provide that to you.
I will say this much (Added to my previous posts provided code)
This is going on, for what you wrote in this post above. http:a41415792
lets say that there is a YEAR only date, then it would need to be.
[theDate:1950|2016] output to: 66
[birthDate:2-19-1971|toDat
[theWhole:11-25-2015|toDat
Something like that.
If there is anything else that you need, please let me know.
If you need to use it in a different function.
Then just try to make it work along side the function that I have provided.
I really do not know what else to add.
Please let me know if you need anything else from me.

Thank you for those examples. In addition to "[BusDate]", you have defined four different scenarios. We are now one step closer to defining your requirements.
1. How will the code know whether the date difference is to be expressed in years or days or age-at-current-date?
2. Will there be a single instance of each tag in your document? In other words, might there be both
[birthDate:3-15-1991|toDat

2. Will there be a single instance of each tag in your document? In other words, might there be both
[birthDate:3-15-1991|toDat
#1: The only way I know to answer this question, is by stating, that with the tag code reference.
Each tag will have its own code to output the proper information that is given to the tag.
#2: There could be multiple instances of all tags in a single document.
Each tag will have its own code to output the proper information that is given to the tag.
#2: There could be multiple instances of all tags in a single document.
Is the birthDate tag the determination of whether the result is in years or age at date?
Is the theWhole tag the determination of whether the result is in years or days?
Do you have control over these tags or are they already in their final state in the document?
Is the theWhole tag the determination of whether the result is in years or days?
Do you have control over these tags or are they already in their final state in the document?
Yes to the first 2 questions.
And Yes to the 3rd question, however, as stated above.
I cannot change the code that I have provided.
If there is a way to have a different function, that will work along side the existing function, that i am fine with that.

Look at the second routine I posted in prior comment for invocation examples. Note that all parameters are required, since "Optional" parameters are not allowed in VBScript.
I looked at the second routine... The SUB.
However, I have no idea on how to pass it.
I tried: repalceTags(strDoc)
Of which, I would assume that it would work, however, it is giving me

So, i am at a loss here Aik.

Nope.
I guess the only option is to request attention, and have someone come in, that can get your code to work. If it works, since you was not able to test it out before posting.
I do appreciate your assistance.
I just hope someone can cipher it, and get it to work.

I thought I had changed that earlier. The state should be something like this:
The ReplaceTags() function takes five parameters.
strDoc = ReplaceTags(strDoc, "\[BusDate\]", "RepAllMatchesWithValue", Date, "d")
The ReplaceTags() function takes five parameters.
Same error
strDoc = ReplaceTags(strDoc, "\[theDate:(\d+)\|(\d+)\]"
strDoc = ReplaceTags(strDoc, "\[theDate:(\d+)\|(\d+)\]"
I changed the code to be like the other one.
strDoc = ReplaceTags(strDoc, "\[theDate:(\d+)\|(\d+)\]"
And then it gives me the same error on this line.

Welp. I got it to work, however, the issue is this.
The tags HAVE to be in every article, in order for it to process the script.
If a tag is missing, it will NOT process the page.
So. I am at a loss.
I have over 135 pages already in the database, and not all of these pages, will utilize these tags.
So.
Any idea's on how to make it work without the tags having to be in every page?
The example #1 works
The example #2 DOES NOT work, it is missing a tag.

This is what I need to happen, when this tag is used in the article.

So, that when you type in the date: [birthDate:1971-2-19|toDat
If you have an idea', would love to hear it.
