hi GT'ers

the goal of the following global sub is to return either 01 (if the day is 01-14) or 15 (if the day is 15 or greater), and it works just fine:

sub {
my $date = GT::Date::date_get();
my $day = substr($date, 8,2);
my $part = ($day < 15 ? '01' : '15');
return {check_date => $part};
}

now, however, i want it to return either 01 (if day is 01-07), 08 (if day is 08-14), 15 (if day is 15-21), or 22 (if day is greater than 21)... any ideas on how i need to change my $part ???? i'm failing at it... thanks for helping a novice learn

i've been trying this:

sub {
my $date = GT::Date::date_get();
my $day = substr($date, 8,2);
if ($day < 8) {
my $part = '01';
} elsif ($day < 15) {
my $part = '08';
} elsif ($day < 22) {
my $part = '15';
} elsif ($day > 21) {
my $part = '22';
}
return {check_date => $part};
}

but keep getting the error: "Global symbol "$part" requires explicit package name at (eval 795) line 13."

i think this fixed it... will find out tomorrow:

sub {
my $date = GT::Date::date_get();
my $day = substr($date, 8,2);
my $part = ($day < 8 ? '01' : ($day < 15 ? '08' : ($day < 22 ? '15' : '22')));
return {check_date => $part};
}

Try;


Untested, but should work.

Basically, if the length of $day == 1 charachter, then pad it with a 0.

NB: You may need to change the order of this part;

($day,$month,$year)

... as I'm not sure exactly what format you are using =)
