how to compare 2 dates

[Diego - Red Baires <diego_redbaires@...>]

hi again guys,

i cant find information regarding the comparision of dates and times.

myDate = "05/21/2009";

if ( os.date()> myDate) then

  print "myDate is a previuos date";

if ( os.date() = myDate) then

  print "myDate is today";

if ( os.date() < myDate) then

  print "myDate is in the future";

is this correct ?

will this work to all locales ?

what about comparing times ? (i mean, if a time is between two values)

thanks one more time
