AW: date arithmetic?

["steffenj" <steffenj@...>]

out of my mind (cases could be outer way round, not sure):

os.date("%Y %M %D %h %m %s")

will give you:
year month day hours minutes seconds

for more, see the Ansi C date function description, it should be possible to
find that on the web

Betreff: date arithmetic?

Hello,

How does one do date arithmetic in Lua?

Right now, I'm manipulating the os.date's table directly:

local aDate = os.date( "*t" )

print( os.date( "%x", os.time( aDate ) ) )

-- find the end of the month
aDate.month = aDate.month + 1
aDate.day = 0

print( os.date( "%x", os.time( aDate ) ) )

 > 08/23/05
 > 08/31/05

Seems to work, but I'm not sure if this is by luck or design.. :)

Thoughts?

TIA!

Cheers
