Thanks David,

That helped, this is what seems to work for me:

PUSH-OMIT-CONTEXT
OMIT 2012-10-06 # Thanksgiving Weekend
OMIT 2013-03-16 # March Break
OMIT 2013-03-30 # Easter Weekend
IF today() >= '2012-09-12' && today() <= '2012-12-19'
SET LessonNum nonomitted('2012-09-12',today(),"Sun","Mon","Tue","Wed","Thu","Fri") REM Sat FROM 2012-09-12 UNTIL 2012-12-19 AT 10:45 DURATION 0:45 SKIP MSG Skating Lesson [LessonNum + 1] %"%"(%3 %c [CountDown()])
ENDIF
IF today() >= '2013-01-12' && today() <= '2013-04-15'
SET LessonNum nonomitted('2013-01-12',today(),"Sun","Mon","Tue","Wed","Thu","Fri") REM Sat FROM 2013-01-11 UNTIL 2013-04-15 AT 10:45 DURATION 0:45 SKIP MSG Skating Lesson [LessonNum + 1] %"%"(%3 %c [CountDown()])

Subject: [Remind-Fans] Increment Counter Variable
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed

I would like to have a counter that increments for each event.   Say, I
have 10 skating lessons over a period of time with OMITs for each
triggered event I would like to display the following messages:


Skating Lesson 1
Skating Lesson 2
.
.
.
Skating Lesson 10

but I haven't been able to increment the variablefrom one event to the
next.  I have looked at man remindwith respect fset and expr but I
couldn't make anything that works.

If this is possible how should I do it?

I can't think of an easy way to do this, sorry.  You might be able
to hack something with nonomitted() and some arithmetic, but Remind does not
have a way to keep that sort of state across different trigger dates.

Regards,

David.
