Hi i need to compare dates something like that:

Code:

local currentdate = date()



  *01/09/21*          *01/07/21*

if currentdate => *timespan or whatever* then



print('you should check site for updates')



end

But i totaly not understand how to do that, can i get some help?

Lua Code:

local time = os.time or _G.time
 
-- Use time API to get the timestamp
local date1 = time{ year = 2012, month = 12, day = 20, hour = 0, min = 0, sec = 0 }
local date2 = time{ year = 2012, month = 12, day = 21, hour = 0, min = 0, sec = 0 }
 
if math.floor(math.abs(date2 - date1) / (3600 * 24)) > 0 then
    print("diff day")
else
    print("same day")
end

Well i found solution...

If someone looking for something like that...

Lua Code:

local function b()
    local c = {year = 2022, month = 01, day = 01, hour = 00, min = 00, sec = 00}
    local d = time(c)
    return d
end
-- Compare b() with pc date.
local function e()
    local f = time()
    return f
end
local function g()
    local function h(time)
    local i = floor(time / 86400)
    local j = floor(mod(time, 86400) / 3600)
    local k = floor(mod(time, 3600) / 60)
    local l = floor(mod(time, 60))
    return format("%d days:%02d hours:%02d min:%02d sec", i, j, k, l)
    end
    local m = b() - e()
    local n = h(m)
    return n
end
if e() >= b() then
    return message("Your addon outdate!\n\n|cffFFFFFFOpen curse find|r |cff00ff52AddonName|r|cffFFFFFF. \n\ Download new update.|r")
end
