HyphenBecomesForwardSlashWith$Date$

[philkryder]

this seems like it should be predicable
and
line 10 should display something like
07/30/2010 16:06:16-11
but instead, I get
07/30/2010 16:06:16/11

It looks like concatenating the $Date$
cause a translation from - to /

Hello Phil,

Use String Operation command if you just want to display date - 11. Variable Operation will try to substract 11 from date hence will not give expected results.

Attached is the amended task for reference.

ah - I understand about the minus sign and subtraction.
but,
thats not the point.

did you notice the FORWARD SLASH in the display when you ran the code?

if SUBTRACTION were happening,
we would have had
07/30/2010 16:06:16-11 become --> 07/19/2010 16:06:16
but instead, I get something like --> 07/30/2010 16:06:16/11
