get day of week from system clock

[AEDL]

Is there a CVI function that returns the system day of week from the PC clock?
I am using GetSystemDate and GetSystemTime but also want to know the day of week ie. Mon, Tue, Wed ,...
Alternatively does anyone have code for calculating this from the system date?

I notice in toolbox there is a function to get international date and time as strings but that doesn't seem to include week-day either

Hello,

I didn't test it.

But the idea it's the following:

1 - the files saved are in this format "weeknumber".txt
2 - they are saved on the same folder

Everytime it executes, adds the current week with .txt extension. then compares all the files in the folder with current week number. If the search result it's "-1", it doesn't exists. So you should save.

Tell me if this enough

Thanks, but I realised that standard C function "localtime" generetaes a structure with day of week

 time(&long_time);          // Get time as long integer.
 newtime = localtime(&long_time);     // Convert to local time structure.
 wkday = newtime->tm_wday;       // Day Of Week = Days since Sunday 0-6
