Second and Fourth Wednesdays and suchlike patterns?
Greetings, Reminderoids! I have a number of events I'd like to put in my Remind calendar that happen twice a month and always on the same day of the week. Usually the 1st and 3rd or 2nd and 4th occurance of a day-of-the-week in each month. For example, the 2nd and 4th Wednesday in each month. It's not obvious to me how to do this in a single reminder. I found an example that let me do this as two reminders (one for 2nd Wednesdays and another for 4th Wednesdays) but this is less than ideal since it makes maintaining the calendar more time-consuming and error-prone. Remind appears to be plenty powerful enough to handle this, but the reminder language is the strongest evidence I've seen of recent extraterrestrial contact with earth humans. In other words I've given up on "really" understanding it. So are there any Vorlons, or humans returned from the Vorlon home world, who can suggest to me a code snippet that matches dates twice a month as described above? -- -- Paul Pseudonym "Can you remember the future?
