lua table range of dates

[Erwin van der Zwart]

Hi,

You made it way to complicated (: Try this:

Code:

time = os.time()

data = {}

for i = 1, 365 do
  datetimetable = os.date('*t', time)
  data[ i ] = { day_num = datetimetable.wday, week_day = os.date('%A', time), day_in_month = datetimetable.day, month_date = datetimetable.month}
  time = time - 86400 -- substract 1 day
end

log(data)

To have a table like in your initial question try this:

Code:

time = os.time()

data = {}

for i = 1, 14 do
  data['day ' .. i] = { date =  os.date('%x', time), day = os.date('%A', time)}
  time = time - 86400 -- substract 1 day
end

log(data)

BR,

Erwin
