Need to get current year records from custom object where year is in a text field.

I need to be able to select current year records from a sales history custom object.  The sales year is a text field in the format of CCYY. 

 

How do I code for this in my trigger select statement?

Do you mean you want to look at the current year today and grab those from your query/

 

If so it would look something like this...

 

String dateOfToday = String.valueOf(Date.today().year());

 

Then your SOQL would include this in the where clause...I am assuming the API name of your field

 

WHERE Sales_Year__c = :dateOfToday
