Here is an example of what the function returns:
'The day today is ' + daytoday+'.'
Returns on a monday:
The day today is Monday.
Here is the function:
function daytoday: string;
begin
Result:=''; {Can be removed}
if dayofweek(now)=1 then
result:='Sunday' else
if dayofweek(now)=2 then
result:='Monday' else
if dayofweek(now)=3 then
result:='Tuesday' else
if dayofweek(now)=4 then
result:='Wednesday' else
if dayofweek(now)=5 then
result:='Thursday' else
if dayofweek(now)=6 then
result:='Friday' else
if dayofweek(now)=7 then
result:='Saturday';
end;
I understand that this code for beginners. You can use case insted of "if" statment...it faster. But did you ever think about that this function read computer date/time ... what if computer time settings incorrect? It is a subject to think about.
