Convert End Date of Sitelink to number

[Tuong Nguyen]

Hi Adwords Experts,

I use this script sitelink.getEndDate(); to get the End Date of the sitelinks but then how can I convert this into a number?

Lets say the End Date of the Sitelink is 18-Mar-15 so I would want it to be '20150318'

Thank you in advance!

Anyone has advice?

Hey Tuong!

You can use .day .year .month on the .getEndDate() to retrieve the values, and with those you can easily create a date string like that, somehow like this:

  while(sitelink.hasNext()) {
    var currentsitelink = sitelink.next();
    var date = currentsitelink.getEndDate();

    if(date != null) {
      // I used
      var sitelinkYear = date.year.toString();
      var sitelinkMonth = (date.month<10) ? "0" + date.month : date.month.toString();
      var sitelinkDay = (date.day<10) ? "0" + date.day : date.day.toString();
      var specdate = sitelinkYear + sitelinkMonth + sitelinkDay;
      Logger.log(specdate);
    }
  }

Sorry forgot the comments so:

  while(sitelink.hasNext()) {
    var currentsitelink = sitelink.next();
    var date = currentsitelink.getEndDate();

// check if there is a date object
    if(date != null) {
// convert the numbers to string
      var sitelinkYear = date.year.toString();
// if the number is lower than 10 add a 0 to the begining

      var sitelinkMonth = (date.month<10) ? "0" + date.month : date.month.toString();

// if the number is lower than 10 add a 0 to the begining
      var sitelinkDay = (date.day<10) ? "0" + date.day : date.day.toString();
