If you just set it to 'Browser.ExecJS("Date()")' you'll then see why the statement is showing text (for me, it shows 'Wed Oct 07 2015 18:25:03 GMT+0100 (GMT Standard Time)' therefore the last 4 characters are 'ime)')

If the format of the returned date is consistant, then you could try:

mid(Browser.ExecJS("Date()"),11,4)

which for me shows just the yesr.

You are not doing anything wrong..

Have you looked at what the whole string is before using the right() expression?

What you are seeing are the last 4 letters of that string..

Everything is working like it should
