The scenario: reading a date in a yyyy-mm-dd form from a file to a cs. This cs later gets compared to a 'current date' macro to write a few args in a specific way to an external file. The current day macro is along the lines of
% defTODAY{}
% defToday{theyear-TwoDigits{themonth}-TwoDigits{theday} }
defTODAY{xdefToday{theyear-TwoDigits{themonth}-TwoDigits{theday}}}
This works for the labeling things, since ref{yyyy-mm-dd} works as intended. Having no extra TODAY and then using def'd Today does so to, it's the comparison that's not working. etoolbox's ifstrequal is not what I used before. Whenever the date would change I used a single xdef and later passed that macro to a ifx, and to get it to work I had to define the date with a appended. edit Read to my amazement inserts a single space after whatever's been read.
Currently I'm supposedly fixing things, but I broke it somehow, and now it doesn't match at all. The first culprit was the my TwoDigits cmd was robust, changing it back to def instead of NewDocumentCommand fixed that. The latter is for user-level commands, so I'll let that slip. But the results of the mwe are not clear to me.
0.txt contains one line with 2001-01-01 and a line new afterwards, as if one line had been written to it and the output had been closed.

- Why don't

- It working with
xstring'sIfStrEqualonly if theis inserted in the definition ofdatemacro, rather than in the comparison's brackets, i.e.,{datemacro }. Why?
ifstrequalsupposedly doesn't expand- I used once in a command to test if an arguments is equal to&, this works- is #1 becoming whatever was input not count as an expansion?
