Android Day Format

[mh348]

Hi, I use the Android Pro version and can't seem to get the day name to display using the macro.

This works correctly on the PC version, by on Android the output is just "0020", which parameters do I need to change/add?
{#datetime -f dddd}

@mh348
maybe {#daytime -f ddddd} (with 5 d's) will work (I think -f dddd is for weekday)
Is there an Android manual you can look into?

I've tried but but #daytime doesn't do anything. I've also tried #datetime with 3, 4, 5, 6 d's but that doesn't make any difference.

According to the PE Android manual, these two date Macro's are supported, #datetime, #date but I can't figure out the parameters for the day name.

Any other idea's?

Code: Select all

{#datetime -f EEEE}

Should do the trick

Hi, Is there a way to get the weekday name in uppercase using the above code?

I basically want to use it to output text as follows:

Code: Select all

#HASHTAG - MONDAY, text
13/07/2020, Monday

I tried the following code but, the day name in the second line is coming out on the 3rd line instead:

Code: Select all

#HASHTAG - {#datetime -f EEEE -s +1D}, text
{#datetime -f dd mmmm yyyy -s +1D}

{#insertclipboard}

For uppercase, use

Code: Select all

{#uppercase {#datetime -f EEEE -s +1D}}

We do not know, why you get an additional line. Make sure you do not have any unneeded line breaks in your phrase content.

Thanks for this, but now both day names are changing to uppercase instead of just the first line..

Make sure you have a closing bracket } for every opening bracket {, in the right order.
