I have an large project in progress right now and have a need for some date tag modifiers.

Currently Hurricane offers the individual month and day tags below.

$MM$

$DD$

My idea is somewhat based on your $FILEDRIVE+1$ and $FILEPATH-3$ tag concepts. I am thinking of a $MM-1$ $DD-7$ sort of thing. Where $DD-1$ would be yesterday, $MM-1$ would be last month and $DD-2$ would be the day before yesterday. I could also use + modifiers too.

What do you think? Would this be a possibility?

Hi Miksteele,

Yes it is possible... I've just taken a look at the source, and unfortunately, this wasn't the way I had started these off, so it will take some time to redo things.

It also depends on how many backward/forward would you'd like?

Regards,
Bill

Hi Bill,

I was hoping it wouldn't be a big trouble. That figures. There are so many different ways to do things. -1 on the MM would be a great start... But I can obviously work around this. Thanks!

Hi Miksteele,

I've added $MM-1$, $MM-2$, $MM-3$ in a rather crude fashion. (Behind the scenes it's not coded as nicely as I'd like, but to preserve the format in the date, I had to do things as-is for now... I'll have to mull over doing it "properly" and make it more flexible at a later date...

Regards,
Bill
