Getting day of the week from %last_modified%

I would like to get the day of the week (Monday, Tuesday etc.) from %last_modified%.

Is this possible?

As far as I can see foobar's time functions {here: $day_of_month(%last_modified%)} always deliver values formatted as digits.

Thank you in advance.

Robertina.

Code: [Select]
$select($add($mod($add(
$mul(2,$sub(3,$mod($left($year(%last_modified%),2),4))),
$right($year(%last_modified%),2),
$div($right($year(%last_modified%),2),4),
$select($month(%last_modified%),$ifequal($mod($year(%last_modified%),4),0,6,0),
$ifequal($mod($year(%last_modified%),4),0,2,3),3,6,1,4,6,2,5,0,3,5),
$day_of_month(%last_modified%)),
7),1),Sunday,Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday,Saturday)

Before posting I searched the forum for day of the week and got an error saying "One or all of your search keywords were below 3 characters or you searched for words which are not allowed, such as 'html', 'img', etc, please go back and increase the length of these search keywords or choose different keywords." and I didn't know how to search more successful.

Thank you, trout, for your help, the code works well.

If anyone still occasionally uses foobar 0.9.5.2 for an extension that never got updated (I'm looking at you, Graphical Browser!), you won't have the time/date functions (year, month, day_of_month) and can use substr instead. A giveaway that this is happening to you: all of your days are coming up "Saturday".

foobar2000 0.9.5.2 compatible code:
Code: [Select]
$select($add($mod($add(
$mul(2,$sub(3,$mod($left($substr(%last_modified%,0,4),2),4))),
$right($substr(%last_modified%,0,4),2),
$div($right($substr(%last_modified%,0,4),2),4),
$select($substr(%last_modified%,6,7),$ifequal($mod($substr(%last_modified%,0,4),4),0,6,0),
$ifequal($mod($substr(%last_modified%,0,4),4),0,2,3),3,6,1,4,6,2,5,0,3,5),
$substr(%last_modified%,9,10)
),7),1),Sunday,Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday,Saturday)
