@MAKEAGE[date[,time[,format]]] : Converts date and time (if included) to an age, a single value in the same format as @FILEAGE.

 

@MAKEAGE accepts an optional third parameter specifying the date format:

 

0default
1USA (mm/dd/yy)
2Europe (dd/mm/yy)
3Japan (yy/mm/dd)
4 ISO (yyyy/mm/dd)

 

@MAKEAGE can be used to compare the time stamp of a file with a specific date and time, for example:

 

if %@fileage[myfile] lt %@makeage[1/1/85] echo OLD!

 

@AGEDATE is the inverse of this function.

 

Examples:

 

echo %@makeage[%_date]

echo %@makeage[%_date,%_time]
