I think you are still missing some pluses. Try this:<div><div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>date2 = "date -d " + date1 + " +'%A, %d/%m/%Y ore %H'"</div><div>(also attached). Also note the single quotes around the format statement.</div>
<div><br></div><div>ut_string can do something very similar, but as of now it can't add the day of the week. I'll put that on my todo list....</div><div><br></div><div> Carl</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<br>I believe you are missing some quotes on line 304. Try this:<div><br></div><div><div><span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>date2 = systemfunc("date -d " + date + " +'%A %H'")</div>
<div><br></div><div>Previously, the date in parentheses was calling the unix command date, not your variable date.
