Hi All

I would like to get the days of the week. I could able to find the no of weeks for the month. But I want to list the days of the perticular week in drop down.

For examble;(year is 2009)

if I say First week of August
then days of the week = 'Saturday'.
if I say Second week of August
then days of the week = 'Sunday','Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thursday' ,'Friday','Saturday'.
...

if I say Sixth week of August
then days of the week = 'Sunday','Monday'.

Anybody can help me in this?

Thanks

cal aug 2009 | perl -nae '$w=$weeknum=1; @d=split if $.==2;if($.==$w+2){for(0..6){if(defined($F[$_])){$_-=@F if $w==1;print "$d[$_] "}};print "\n" if @F!=0}'

Set the variable $weeknum (1-6) as required.

Seriously?

What language? The example is pretty standard perl, although more readable if split onto more lines.

No elegant answer comes to mind, I'd have to say. We'd have to know your target language, so we could think of the standard date functions available, so we could think of a solution.

Notes: Weeks could be 1 to 6, by your definition. For weeks 1 to 5 ( or 4 in some cases!) this could be based on the n'th saturday. The kind of crocks that are half-forming in my mind are suggesting to me that this would be better not done: think up a different interface!

(Unless this is your homework, in which case the answer is to find out yourself.)
