Many thanks for the reply, Jaroslav.
I wanted to avoid Saturdays and Sundays, so I wrote:
\startluacode
x = 1
final_date = os.date('%a',os.time()+ x * 24 * 3600)
if final_date == "Sat" then
x = x + 2
elseif final_date == "Sun" then
x = x + 1
end
tex.print ( os.date('%d/%m/%Y',os.time()+ x * 24 * 3600))
\stopluacode
This is all Greek to me, but it seems to work.
Many thanks for your help again,
Pablo

Hello Pablo.
Here is example of add days in Lua:
\startluacode
x=5 -- add five days
tex.print ('Actual date is :'..os.date('%d.%m.%Y')..'\\crlf')
tex.print ( 'And x days added date is :'.. os.date('%d.%m.%Y',os.time()+
x * 24 * 3600))
\stopluacode

Many thanks for the module, Jaroslav.
BTW, wouldn’t you know how can I set a \date using Lua that adds x
working days to the current date?
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

Hello Pablo. I do very often mailmerge using ConTeXt. I do it with my lua library and data in my external CSV file. Unfortunately I do not have a manual to the my lua library.
