Hello,

today is Wednesday the 30.01.2008.

% clock format [clock scan "Monday last W

"] -format "%d.%m.%Y"
28.01.2008

?? shouldn't it be 21.01.2008

% clock format [clock scan "Monday next W

"] -format "%d.%m.%Y"
11.02.2008

?? shouldn't ist be 04.02.2008

% clock format [clock scan "Monday this W

"] -format "%d.%m.%Y"
unable to convert date-time string "Monday this W

"

?? shouldn't ist be 28.01.2008

How do i get the date of Sunday/Monday/Tuesday.. in the actual W

?

Thanks,
Matthias

Looks like just a w

day is understood as near future:

125 % clock format [clock scan "Monday"]
Mon Feb 04 00:00:00 W. Europe Standard Time 2008

if not the current day:
130 % clock format [clock scan "Thursday"]
Thu Jan 31 00:00:00 W. Europe Standard Time 2008

So if you shift it, "last w

" or "1 w

ago":

135 % clock format [clock scan "Monday 1 w

ago"]
Mon Jan 28 00:00:00 W. Europe Standard Time 2008

Matthias,
I ran into the same senario when I needed a Sunday date, I used
the following command:
clock format [clock scan "Sunday last w

" -base [clock scan
"saturday last w

"]]
