- Thread-topic: Picking your brains about dates and times
The user interface is a problem that I think is getting solved (Thanks Shane!)
But now I’m needing to be able to produce cogent publishable strings in the style of:
Showtimes: Tue.-Thur. 7 p.m.; Fri. & Sat. 8 p.m.; Sat. 2 p.m.; Sun. 1, 3 and 6:30 p.m.
From a data set that looks something like this:
{{date,{time,time}}, {date, {time,time,time} ,{date,time}}
or this
{{date,time},{date,time},{date,time},{date,time},{date,time}}
