[Remind-Fans] Calculate difference between dates

[B. William]

Nice one Tim
I ID birthdays with a B and anniversaries with an A so I trimmed it down to:

FSET yr(y) "" + ord($Ty - y) + ""

REM Jul 19 MSG B Steve's [yr(2023)]
REM Jul 19 MSG A Jack & Dianne's [yr(2022)]
REM Jul 19 MSG B Jack's [yr(2021)]
REM Jul 19 MSG B Dianne's [yr(2020)]
REM Jul 19 MSG B Bob's [yr(2019)]

Don't need year "0" (opinion) but I'm curious about the double quotes.
Any way to trim those?
Bruce
