Your script snippet didn't show what $manYY and friends were set to, but I suspect you were manually setting things to various dates to see how your script behaved. >=20 > Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated. The targe= t date is day 3 of the current week, with Monday being the 1. Just to cl= arify, on Sunday, I am looking for the previous Wednesday date. If I understand what you are asking, you want: On Sunday, generate the date of the prior Wednesday (previous week). On Monday-Tuesday, generate the date of the next Wednesday (current week)= =2E On Wednesday, generate the current date. On Thursday-Saturday, generate the date of the prior Wednesday (current week). More concretely, it sounds like using March 1-7, 2012 as our sample inputs, you want the following outputs: Mar 1 (Thu) =3D> Feb 29 Mar 2 (Fri) =3D> Feb 29 Mar 3 (Sat) =3D> Feb 29 Mar 4 (Sun) =3D> Feb 29 Mar 5 (Mon) =3D> Mar 7 Mar 6 (Tue) =3D> Mar 7 Mar 7 (Wed) =3D> Mar 7 Also, you should remember that when adding or subtracting days, you must take into account daylight savings transitions. I'd recommend basing your computations off of noon, rather than midnight, so that even if you end up at 11am or 1pm due to your calculations changing by multiples of 24 hours but crossing a day with 23 or 25 hours, you still get the right date. $ for i in `seq 7`; do offset=3D$(date -d"Mar $i, 2012" +%u) date -d"12pm Mar $i, 2012 +3 days -$offset day" done Wed Feb 29 12:00:00 MST 2012 Wed Feb 29 12:00:00 MST 2012 Wed Feb 29 12:00:00 MST 2012 Wed Feb 29 12:00:00 MST 2012 Wed Mar 7 12:00:00 MST 2012 Wed Mar 7 12:00:00 MST 2012 Wed Mar 7 12:00:00 MST 2012 Since it looks like I can generate what you asked for, I'm closing this as not a bug.
