Does anyone know how to pull the day of week from the Date Variables to be used in the body of an email message? Possibly using the Date/time variable?

Thanks

Hi clarck01,

At this moment there is now way to get the day of the week out of a date with the current date functions.

I'll make this a feature request.

example:

{DATE(Weekday|12/19/2011|M/d/yyyy|firstdayofweek)}

will return 2

firstdayofweek values:

1 = Sunday
2 = Monday
3 = Tuesday
4 = Wednesday
5 = Thursday
6 = Friday
7 = Saturday

Regards
Erik

Actually it is possible to use this Variable:

{DATEFORMAT(dddd)}

The output is localized so you will get the language of your regional settings in your computer.

Did not remember either! Had to check the pattern list! Thanks for your input anyway - maybe he wanted it in number format!
