You want the SATISFY clause: REM Jan 1 SATISFY [$Ty % 2 == 0] MSG %"Happens on even years%"% REM Jan 1 SATISFY [$Ty % 2 == 1] MSG %"Happens on odd years%"% That latter one can be simplified to REM Jan 1 SATISFY [$Ty % 2] MSG %"Happens on odd years%"% You can adjust the 2 for however many years you want to skip, so REM Nov 1 SATISFY [$Ty % 4 == 0] MSG %"Every 4 years%"% You can see this in one of the demo files https://www.roaringpenguin.com/wiki/index.php/Defs.rem where they do this for election day: REM Tue Nov 2 SCANFROM [_back(7)] \ SATISFY [(YEAR(TRIGDATE()) % 4) == 0] \ MSG %"Election%" Day ("$Ty" is the same as "YEAR(TRIGDATE())") Hope this helps! -tim _______________________________________________ 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
