May I have some help please?

I am trying to write some code that refers to the day of the week and when this happens, it does something.

var today = new Date();
var wday = today.getDay();

debugPrintln("getDay=",+ getDay());
debugPrintln("getHour=",+ getHour());
debugPrintln("close=",+ close());
debugPrintln("wday=",+ wday);

Am I referencing this right? The only weekday(wday) I get is 6(saturday). That is today's date.The other numbers come out ok.

There isn't very much written about this.

the problem is...

You are continually getting todays day #.

The "var today = new Date();" creates a new date value with todays (current) date/time. Thus, when you run the getDay() function on this variable - you get today's #.

You need to use...

var today = new Date();
today = getValue("Time", 0);

var wday = today.getDay();

debugPrintln("getDay=",+ getDay());
debugPrintln("getHour=",+ getHour());
debugPrintln("close=",+ close());
debugPrintln("wday=",+ wday);
vTime = getValue("Time", 0);

Brad,

Yes, this is good info, I assumed the day of the week was unavailable for historical data.

I attached an efs that demonstrates different methods for grabbing time and date info that I use. I went ahead and added your code snippets to check it out. Then ran it in real time and tick playback, works great, thanks!

you're very welcome

More FREE little tid-bits of EFS code in my head.. Somethings I'm good at, other times I have to ask for help too.
