If you mean that it isn't showing months, then that is normal. $duration will not display months or years because there is not a set number of days in a month or a year. You'd have to make your own script/identifier to do that for you if you wanted it. Invision Support #Invision on irc.irchighway.net

Sorry to bring up the past, but I'd use Token Identifiers, and not $mid() because you're only getting the first number.

I used:

Code:

[color:red]$duration($calc($duration($duration($ctime($fulldate))) - $duration($duration($ctime(March 22 1987 00:00:00),2)))))[/color]

to calculate the number of days since my birthdate.

It returns 947wks 2days 13hrs 12mins 47secs for me. We want to get the 947, so we use:

Code:

[color:blue]$gettok([/color]$duration($calc($duration($duration($ctime($fulldate))) - $duration($duration($ctime(March 22 1987 00:00:00),2))))[color:blue],1,119)[/color]

the same goes for the number of days:

Code:

[color:blue]$gettok($gettok([/color]$duration($calc($duration($duration($ctime($fulldate))) - $duration($duration($ctime(March 22 1987 00:00:00),2))))[color:blue],1,100),2,32)[/color]

which returns 2.

Which is a bit more efficient if you have more than 1 number.

Code:

alias f12 {
  var %time = $duration($calc($duration($duration($ctime($fulldate))) - $duration($duration($ctime(March 22 1987 00:00:00),2)))))
  echo -a $calc(7 * $gettok(%time,1,119) + $gettok($gettok(%time,1,$asc(100)),2,32))
}
