I would like to subtract two dates

i.e I have entered a date into a textbox which is of type String like
below

type(waitForObject(":VWAP Calculator_LCDateTextField"), "07/24/14")

I am capturing that date like below

Current = (waitForObject(":VWAP Calculator_LCDateTextField").text)

so, now I want to subtract the captured date with my current system
date and get the difference in days. I tried many ways and see no
success. Someone please help with this as soon as possible.

P.S: I have python 2.4 and 2.7

Try the 'datetime' module:

>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> d = datetime.strptime("07/24/14", "%m/%d/%y")
>>> d
datetime.datetime(2014, 7, 24, 0, 0)
>>> diff = datetime.now() - d
>>> diff.days
7
