Hi Everyone, I am a new one here.

I started using remind for my works and appointments. Everything is fine. I love it. Now I am trying set a training on all weekdays from 4th Oct 2021 to 29th Oct 2021 without Saturday and Sunday. I have tested a lot but I am being confused with something. What I have tried is below;

Code:

REM OMIT Sat Sun 4 Oct 2021 THROUGH 29 Oct 2021 MSG Attending Training

It doesn't work. It will set "Attending Training" on all day including Sat Sun.

Code:

REM Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri 4 Oct 2021 THROUGH 29 Oct 2021 MSG Attending Training

Code:

REM OMIT Sat Sun Oct 2021 MSG Attending Training

They also don't work. They will also set "Attending Training" on all day including Sat Sun.

Code:

REM Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Oct 2021 MSG Attending Training

It skip Sat and Sun but starting from 1st Oct while I want to start 4th Oct 2021.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for reply. It is what I am looking for days. Thanks. As English is not my mother language, it is difficult sometime for reading man pages for me. Anyway, I will try...
