Next day (os.date)

[FatMax]

I need something to happen the next day retrieved from the os.date function. 

How do I get the correct value in the easiest fashion, correcting for month change, etc.?

You can simply add +1 to day number, convert to timestamp, then get a date from that timestamp. It handles year/month wrap-around automatically.

Code:

date = os.date('*t') -- current date (table)
date.day = date.day + 1 -- add 1 day
time = os.time(date) -- convert to timestamp
date = os.date('*t', time) -- tomorrow date (table) from timestamp
log(date)

This is brilliant.

Thank you so much!

Why not using ?:

Code:

date = os.date('*t', os.time() + 86400)
log(date)

There's a certain edge case when the time jumps backwards due to the daylight saving time change. But it looks like that date.day + 1 method is also affected by this.
