Rule with actual date

[lale]

Hello!
I’m asking if it’s possible to add rule in respect to the actual date.
I want to check and filter dates with the actual date of today. I can’t find something.
ICan someone help me?

For example i want to check the warranty end with the actual date. Is the warranty end reached or if there i any time left.

Regards
Lale

Hi @lale

@lale

someone help me?

Welcome to Dynamo Forum!

Could you please be more specific. Possible to drop your data structure or relevant files?

DateTime.Now amd DateTime.Today nodes outputs the current time and date
They are in Input->DateTime

[lale]

I get all elements of “Brandmelder” and the parameter “Garantieende” (warranty end). Then i try to check if there is time life left.

Maybe i have to change the format of my parameter…

[lale]

i’ve changed the format but at the end i want to know if the actual date is later or earlier then the warranty end.
Does someone know it?

thanks in advance!

Use timespan.bydatedifference instead simply a greater than operator:

Convert to some number and than you can compare the elements.

If I remember correctly you can compare DateTime objects directly in python using standard operators like > or < …

Hi @lale

As @Andreas_Dieckmann pointed, you can do this way in python:

import sys
pyt_path = r'C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\Lib'
sys.path.append(pyt_path)
import datetime

def task(Rule_With_Actual_Date):
	dt = datetime.datetime.strptime(Rule_With_Actual_Date, "%d.%m.%Y") <= datetime.datetime.now()
	return dt

OUT = map(task,IN[0])

And if you prefer to stick with nodes:

Thank you all. I’ve solved this problem with the timespan. Change it to minutes and compare which one is negative. Then i create to lists with the true and false ones.

It was easier than i thought
