Can I pull an infolabel that will allow me to compare If system date = monday, do this... etc.

I need to be able to pull just day of the week. not the full date.

hmm stringcompare() would work, thing is that you would have to do keep all languages in mind.

But system.date will pull Monday, October 11, 2010.

How could I compare Monday to system.date?

How could I tackle different languages?

stringcompare can handle localized labels, but i'm not 100% sure
if substring (which is what you need, i guess) can do that too.

anyway, give this a shot:
SubString(system.date,$LOCALIZE[11])


edit:
yep, works fine at my end.

Ok heres what I am using

<visible>StringCompare(Window(Home).Property(NextAired.1.Airtime),$LOCALIZE[20342])</visible>

Window(Home).Property(NextAired.1.Airtime) returns Monday at 09:00 pm

$LOCALIZE[20342] returns Monday

I cant get it to show when the two are compared and return true.

which is WHY ronie used substring mate

bad way there, the script will always give you monday for this information, so don't use localized

SubString didnt work either.

I am wanting to show the shows ONLY when the string from the script shows Monday, then have another page for when the string equals Tuesday, etc.

other way i see, i can push you a list of today aired show, will save you from adding several string compare for all properties id !

with a list, using substring will be fine , just one compare to do, instead of each item.
