Bugsy the format you made it converts only weeks in numbers i think he wants to be able also to convert weeks in thier name form.

I can make you a simple stock so it can format any type of time formats but you need to wait until i come back to home.

I can easily do that too, but I don't think your assumption is true. He is retrieving the weekday name using get_time( "%A" ) and then passing that to CalculateDays(const szDay[]) to get the numerical day-of-week value, he should have instead used "%w", as my code does, as it eliminates the need for his CalculateDays() function.

%A	Full weekday name *	Thursday
%w	Weekday as a decimal number with Sunday as 0 (0-6)	4

This is why I asked for a verbal explanation as without a specific use-case, we have to make assumptions. He advised to refer to post 3, which is what I based my code off of:

"Thanks for taking the time to respond, the "problem" is that I want this automated function to run on a specific day and time every week, for example every Saturday 12 PM, which is why parse_time doesn't seem to cover this situation."

public CalculateStrings()
{
        new Time[15], ToDay[5],  Month[5]

        //%A - Full weekday name *  Thursday
        get_time("%A", Time, charsmax(Time))
        new EventDay = 7 - CalculateDays(Time)
        get_time("%d", ToDay, charsmax(ToDay))
        new iFutureDate = str_to_num(ToDay) + EventDay

        get_time("%m", Month, charsmax(Month))

        new FormatedFutureDate[30]
        formatex(FormatedFutureDate, charsmax(FormatedFutureDate), "19:00:00 %i/%i/2021", str_to_num(Month), iFutureDate)

        new iFutureDateTime = parse_time( FormatedFutureDate , "%H:%M:%S %m/%d/%Y" );
        new iCurrentDateTime = get_systime();
        Counter = iFutureDateTime - iCurrentDateTime;

        set_task_ex(1.0, "TimeToEvent", TASK_HUD_DROP, .flags = SetTask_Repeat)
}

convert_seconds( iTotalSeconds , &seconds , &minutes , &hours , &days )
{
        days = iTotalSeconds / 86400
        hours = ( iTotalSeconds / 3600 ) % 24
        minutes = ( iTotalSeconds / 60 ) % 60
        seconds = iTotalSeconds % 60
}

CalculateDays(const szDay[])
{
        new Count = 0
        enum _:ItemData
        {
                szDays[10],
                iCount
        }
        new const g_szDays[][ItemData] =
        {
                {"Sunday",       1},
                {"Monday",       2},
                {"Tuesday",      3},
                {"Wednesday",    4},
                {"Thursday",     5},
                {"Friday",       6},
                {"Saturday",     7}
        }

        for(new i; i < sizeof g_szDays; i++)
        {
                if(equali(szDay, g_szDays[i][szDays]))
                {
                        Count = g_szDays[i][iCount]
                        break
                }
        }

        return Count
}

Bugsy correctly understood the need, to be honest I didn't see the option to use %w, which is why I created the stock, thank you very much for your help.

Hi, How did this number come about? -> "1624465533"

That’s just an example Unix/epoch timestamp, I assume you know what they are/how they work. Any date/time post 1/1/1970 can be converted to an integer value, down to the second. This is the type of value that get_systime() returns and what nVault timestamps represent.
