Calendar Math, which language to use?

<< < (4/4)

jeromg:
Well, not sure if it can fill all your needs, but the best tool for calendar manipulation imho is remind (open source) that you can find at http://www.roaringpenguin.com/products/remind.
It's not a scripting language on its own, but it can do pretty much anything (including user defined functions) as far as dates and reminders manipulation. It has a steep learning curve though :\

The best introduction to remind can be found here: http://www.roaringpenguin.com/files/download/remind-oclug.pdf

It can generate calendars in postscript or html.

looked at remind. compiled and ran for cygwin. You are right, it is a bit complex to use, still the more you know the better?

kovi2 the output looks great, but as i suspected if you write an app it will work only in limited circumstances (currently have slider only for saturdays), but never mind. I think izeit will have to do for now. Thanks a lot guys. You were great!
:)

kovi2:
Yes, that often happens when one to make a GUI for a multi-purpose function. Unfortunately for the Player it's necessary since the free Player does not allow explicit inputs. So my last offer in this theme is something like

and of course the already seen calendar view can be inserted as well. If it's still not flexible enough then you really should try iZeit, I agree... ;)
