Greetings. I'm (always) trying to do more with remind. I have a question about SATISFY.
I do a lot of things like this: rem 2016-09-06 *56 omit sat sun after SATISFY 1 if (trigvalid()) SET rootpasswd trigdate() rem [rootpasswd] SPECIAL COLOR 255 0 0 Root Password Changes endif (It's actually more complicated than that, but suffice it to say, I need the variable set to the trigdate.) But sometimes my date ranges change. So I actually have this: rem 2016-03-21 *56 until 2016-08-01 omit sat sun after SATISFY 1 (line A) rem 2016-09-06 *56 omit sat sun after SATISFY 1 (line B) if (trigvalid()) SET rootpasswd trigdate() rem [rootpasswd] SPECIAL COLOR 255 0 0 Root Password Changes endif This works for September 6 and November 1. But it doesn't work for July 11th, which would have been the last day that line A would have matched. So I guess I just answered my first question, that the trigvalid() only works for the immediately preceeding SATISFY. Once line A matched and SATISFY worked and set trigvalid to 1, then line B happened and set trigvalid back to 0. So here's my next question. Is there a way to set a variable as the "action" taken by a REM statement? Because in theory [1], this kind of thing might work: UNSET rootpassword rem 2016-03-21 *56 until 2016-08-01 SET rootpasswd trigdate() rem 2016-09-06 *56 SET rootpasswd trigdate() if defined("rootpasswd") rem [rootpasswd] SPECIAL COLOR 255 0 0 Root Password Changes endif except that, as far as I know, I can't use the SET command in this manner. The only way I know is through repetition: rem 2016-03-21 *56 until 2016-08-01 omit sat sun after SATISFY 1 if (trigvalid()) SET rootpasswd trigdate() endif rem 2016-09-06 *56 omit sat sun after SATISFY 1 if (trigvalid()) SET rootpasswd trigdate() endif Can I do better? By any chance, is "SET rootpasswd trigdate()" an "expression" that returns a true value, and I can do this: rem 2016-03-21 *56 until 2016-08-01 SATISFY SET rootpasswd trigdate() rem 2016-09-06 *56 SATISFY SET rootpasswd trigdate() ? --hymie! http://lactose.homelinux.net/~hymie hy...@lactose.homelinux.net [1] Everything works in theory. http://i.imgur.com/eKjNHWF.png _______________________________________________ Remind-fans mailing list Remind-fans@lists.roaringpenguin.com http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/remind-fans Remind is at http://www.roaringpenguin.com/products/remind
