I'm using remind to help me train for a race. I train every N days (currently every other day, but would like a generic solution for future training), with a different set of activities to do each time. Sometimes I can't train on a given day due to scheduling or injury, and want to pick up where I left off on the next non-omitted day.
Here's what I've been able to do on my own: OMIT 2017-02-10 OMIT 2017-02-13 set start_date '2017-02-08' set end_date '2017-04-15' # index 1 is the text for omitted days, index 2 is the first activity set training_idx nonomitted(start_date, max(today(), start_date)) + 2 set training_day iif(isomitted(today()), 1, training_idx) set activity choose(training_day, \ "rest", \ "Activity 1", \ "Activity 2", \ "Activity 3", \ "Activity 4", \ "Activity 5", \ "") FROM [start_date] UNTIL [end_date] MSG [activity] This produces: $ remind -s1 runtraining 2017/02/08 * * * * Activity 1 2017/02/09 * * * * Activity 2 2017/02/10 * * * * rest 2017/02/11 * * * * Activity 3 2017/02/12 * * * * Activity 4 2017/02/13 * * * * rest 2017/02/14 * * * * Activity 5 That's almost correct, except that it doesn't alternate days. I've tried adding an OMITFUNC, but days omitted by OMITFUNC aren't picked up by isomitted(), so the training_idx calcuations are wrong (some activities get skipped). I'd like output like this from the same choose() arguments: 2017/02/08 * * * * Activity 1 2017/02/09 * * * * rest # alternate day 2017/02/10 * * * * rest # omitted 2017/02/11 * * * * Activity 2 2017/02/12 * * * * rest # alternate day 2017/02/13 * * * * rest # omitted 2017/02/14 * * * * Activity 3 2017/02/15 * * * * rest # alternate day 2017/02/16 * * * * Activity 4 2017/02/17 * * * * rest # alternate day 2017/02/18 * * * * Activity 5 Any suggestions? Remind 03.01.10, but willing to upgrade if a newer version is capable of producing the desired output. -- Ed Blackman _______________________________________________ Remind-fans mailing list [email protected] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/remind-fans Remind is at http://www.roaringpenguin.com/products/remind
