I couldn’t find it so I assume it is not there but…

Can we have a date.getWeek() function (based on the locale)?

For the time being you can do following

//credits  
//[http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/gregorianwknum.asp](http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/gregorianwknum.asp)  
var year = arguments[0]  
var month = arguments[1]  
var day = arguments[2]  
//lets calc weeknumber the cruel and hard way ![:D]( "Very Happy")  
//Find JulianDay  
month += 1; //use 1-12  
var a = Math.floor((14-(month))/12);  
var y = year+4800-a;  
var m = (month)+(12_a)-3;  
var jd = day + Math.floor(((153_m)+2)/5) +  
(365_y) + Math.floor(y/4) - Math.floor(y/100) +  
Math.floor(y/400) - 32045; // (gregorian calendar)  
//var jd = (day+1)+Math.Round(((153_m)+2)/5)+(365+y) +  
// Math.round(y/4)-32083; // (julian calendar)

## //now calc weeknumber according to JD var d4 = (jd+31741-(jd%7))%146097%36524%1461; var L = Math.floor(d4/1460); var d1 = ((d4-L)%365)+L; NumberOfWeek = Math.floor(d1/7) + 1; return NumberOfWeek;

3)How to get weeknr from within another script  
var myWeekNr = globals.getWeekOfYear(‘2003’,‘8’,‘15’) //year - month - day

i think this is a bit more easier:

var week = parseInt(utils.dateFormat(new Date(), ‘w’));

ahumm..  
I overlooked this option.  
Our dev team is stuffing Servoy with so much features,  
it’s their fault. ![:evil:]( "Evil or Very Mad")
