Hey there,
I wanna find out the date subtracted 12 weeks from today. Do I have to build a whole calendar and then read from it?
example:
Today: 20130109
Result: 20121017
maybe anyone has already written a script for that?
any help appreciated

like most of the time I’m answering my own questions (sorry for the spam, maybe helpful to others):
-- current date
t = os.time();
d = os.date("%Y-%m-%d", t);
print("Today", d );
-- - 7 \* 12 days
t = t - 604800 \* 12;
d = os.date("%Y-%m-%d", t);
print("Next week", d );
