Tags for today, this week, this month, and this year

[utapyngo]

I want to be able to see how much time I have spent today, since midnight.

Currently I am using

$sampleage <= 13:00 ==> tag Today,

but it is not since midnight.

What I want is the $today variable:

$date == $today => tag Today,
week $date == week $today => tag This-week,
month $date == month $today => tag This-month,
year $date == year $today => tag This-year,

There are two issues here:

• Adding $today (or better: $now, since it is a datetime). Quite a reasonable request.
• Interpolating variables like $date and expressions like (year $date) in strings. That is more tricky, and needs thought.

I agree. Do you want me to edit this issue and open another one?

[nomeata]

If you can open a new one, that would be helpful.

Any update on this?

[nomeata]

Not really, other projects too important right now. Is that something that would be nice to have for you, or is it a serious show-stopper?

I found another way, I used this:

arbtt-stats  --filter='$date>='`date +"%Y-%m-%d"`

That’s the sprit! :-)
