Hello,

as of now "GetWeekday() returns the Daystring of the current day e.g. Friday.

1. Would it be possible to change the function to accept a given date as a paremeter?

2. As the result is string depending on the usersetting would it be possible to return a number from 1 - 7 for each weekday?

Thank you and kind regards Kai

Hmm, not likely. But you can easily implement this on your own. Calculating a weekday from a given date shouldn't be so difficult... I bet there are lots of example source codes for this stuff available via Google.

On Aminet there is a date.library and it has a very good guide about the different date systems AFAIR.
