Changed the code to calculate out 31, which is the end of the year here in my Country. But always it return 1 day till end of the year. So I tried to code this from the ground. The snippet below should return 2 days, but in mIRC it returns 1 day. Code alias EndOfYear { ; Calculate the end of the year time var %end_of_year $ctime($asctime(yyyy) $+ /12/31 00:00) echo -ag $duration($calc(%end_of_year - $ctime)) } I'm totally lost, maybe I code wrong? I have not used MSL since a long time ago.
