[Remind-Fans] Remind-fans Digest, Vol 87, Issue 1 (CountDown)

[Roger]

Not sure how I am to reply but I thought I would show another alternative:


FSET _CountDown() iif((trigdatetime()-current())/1440>0,"-- %b","-- %1")

where, at 0830 on 9 Jun 2011 we get:

REM 2011 Jun 09 +7 AT 12:00 MSG Lunch with Haiyan %"%"(%3 
[_CountDown()]), yields
Lunch with Fiona (at 12:00 -- 3 hours and 30 minutes from now)

REM 2011 Jun 10 +7 AT 12:00 MSG Lunch with Haiyan %"%"(%3 
[_CountDown()]), yields
Lunch with Fiona (at 12:00 -- tomorrow)

REM 2011 Jun 11 +7 AT 12:00 MSG Lunch with Haiyan %"%"(%3 
[_CountDown()]), yields
Lunch with Fiona (at 12:00 -- in 2 days' time)
