Mark, I have successfully used Evans formulae plugin for this, however the native method I know of is as follows;
Although the days operator will not return the date for you to make use of it will be able to find tiddlers in which contain a standard date field that comply with the days operator, so you would use days[+6] days[+10] days[+90] to look that many days into the future. you can then utilise a second days operator to eliminate days prior to today. Here is a reply that I did in the past <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/fbszxrvatvA/kCQzCDFwAAAJ>that helps using the days operator but not the use of two at once. The trick I have found with the days operator is it is always relative to today, ie +4 or -4 represents dates passing through today - + 4 all dates in the future back today and further into the past - - 4 all days from 4 days ago through today in into the future So (without retesting} [days[+4]days[-1] would be all dates upto 4 days in the future and also from yesterday (including those in the future). Since the days operator returns the tiddler titles, from which you can extract the date that resulted from the days operator, you can do more with the date if required. Warnings - It is quite easy to use two days operators that result in nothing because you eliminate all - Using the not ! and the + and - values can quickly trip you up because you are doing binary backflips, double negatives etc..
