Re^5: Yesterday Date

I guess I would have to add


$d = $d -1;

if( ($d->day_of_week == 0) ||( $d->day_of_week == 6)){

$d = $d -1;

print $d;
}

before!

Nope. You added two bugs If you start on a Monday, that'll give you the Saturday. That's why a loop was used. If you start on a day other than Sunday or Monday, it won't print anything. That's why the `print` was outside the loop.	[reply] [d/l]

OK, good point, now what does this line do? `print $d, $/;` can I use the result with just this: `print "$d";` [download] Thanks!	[reply] [d/l] [select]

`$/` is a fancy (and possibly silly) way of saying `"\n"` By the way, putting quotes around nothing but a variable (`"$d"`) is useless, weird and confusing.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
