Create file based on day of the week

Questions & Suggestions

I want to create a macro that, when invoked, takes the current day of the week and: if it is a Sunday, opens a file called foo-yyyymmdd.md (ex: foo-20160731.md) using the current date. If not a Sunday, it opens a file called foo-yyyymmdd.md using the upcoming Sunday’s date.

I’m thinking there’s a more elegant way than 7 “if” statements using %ICUDateTimePlus%0%Days%e%

If you want to learn more about handling date/time in Keyboard Maestro, see:

This has had very, very limited, testing. Test and confirm for yourself before using in production.

Perfect, thanks. I had the places in the documentation…I was just way overthinking the math!
