Question with time$()

[honkytonk]

Hello,
I have been trying for a while to retrieve a date with a j (44491) different from the j of this day (44507).
This procedure does not work, because the month is retrieved from "todays"

   mois$ = "Jan Fév Mar Avr Mai Jun Jui Aou Sep Oct Nov Déc"
   today$ = date$("mm/dd/yyyy")
   j = date$(today$)
   jsem$ = word$("Mar Mer Jeu x Ven Sam x Dim Lun",int((j/7-int(j/7))*10)+1)
   date$ = jsem$+" "+mid$(today$,4,2)+" "+word$(mois$, val(today$))'+"   "+left$(time$(),5)

How could I do?
Thank you for.

Not sure if this answers the question.

'this works because val() will only value the string up to the first \
print "The month is ";word$("JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC",val(date$("MM/DD/YY")))

'this works because date$("days") returns the number of days since 1/1/01 mod 7 cycles to day of week
print "Today is ";word$("TUE WED THU FRI SAT SUN MON",date$("days") mod 7+1)


'so days=44491
days=44491
print "The month was ";word$("JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC",val(date$(days)))
print "The day was ";word$("TUE WED THU FRI SAT SUN MON",days mod 7+1)

It's good for the month and the day of the week, but it's missing the day of the month (x of 30-31)

I found, I didn't know there was "date$(44491)"

[honkytonk]

Boo sniff; date$() does not take variables
As date$(t)

[honkytonk]

So it's work with: date$((t))

Works for me?

Now with me too.
I had to include a chicken bone when trying.
And date$ choked on it
