vbscript - VBS objFile.DateLastModified and Date Format Settings -


i'm trying date modify check file in vbs script. looks comparison operation depend on date format set on machine script runnnig. have diverse machines regioanal & date settings russian, english us, english uk , need run vbs against machines , being able compare date correctly.

when i'm trying use

if objfile.datelastmodified = cdate("19.10.2012 11:34:06")  else else end if

it seemingly works , doing correct comparison on machine russian formats setting, fails on machine english uk formats setting following error

type mismatch: 'cdate' 800a000d

if use following dateserial(2012,10,19) doesn't throw error fail compare dates correctly.

what best , easiest way compare file modify date against predifined value vbs irrespectively of machine date format setting?

long story short: don't use localized date formats when parsing dates.

iso 8601 format works fine:

if objfile.datelastmodified = cdate("2012-10-19 11:34:06")   ' else   ' else end if

if must, can use setlocale() function explicitly make script run under different environments:

setlocale 1049  ' lcid "russian" msgbox cdate("5.4.2013 15:00:00")  ' april 5, shown 05.04.2013 15:00:00  setlocale 1033  ' lcid "english - united states" msgbox cdate("5.4.2013 15:00:00")  ' type mismatch error

refer list of assigned lcids on msdn.

Why does Ruby on Rails generate add a blank line to the end of a file? -

running rails generate controller foo home results in: class foocontroller < application controller def home end end (there's nothing on line in actual file, blank line) is there purpose blank line? it's common use newline indicate end of line, last line. many editors (like vi, use) add in newline silently. consensus text files (especially in unix world) should end in newline, , there have been problems historically if wasn't present. why should text files end newline? the tool used count lines in file "wc" counts newlines in file, without trailing newline show 3 instead of 4. it improves readability of templates used in generator. consider: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/controller/templates/controller.rb to remove trailing newline, template have last line of: end<% end -%> instead of: end <% end -%> that seems less readable me. the discussion below refers ...
