Aight yea you were a little harsh about how you went about it but you dont know the facts so I guess I got a little heated (short fuse does that) when I shouldnt have. When I said both methods work I didnt mean I was going to use "thursday" to call it, im actually using the integer way and what I meant but both methods work I meant using a string comparison within a buffer as long as the word itself is there. Using %A you can get the weekday name then define it to whatever and set it into a buffer. After you can string compare it to match the word you want with the word in the buffer. Thats what I meant. Btw my server I do know all about it, who owns it and what he does. He's actually the creator of dba along with another person I forget the name. He now owns his own hosting site and thats his server now. Thanks for the help everyone.

People in this community tend to like to have all code be as portable as possible. So I think what he meant by not knowing was simply that "what if" type of scenario. Portability doesn't ever hurt. :)
