Hello guys,
I looked for that on google for hours but did not find anything, i guess i did not use the right keywords.
Is it possible to define a variable representing 20 days after the output date. If today we are the 2011 08 20, it would get the output: 2011 09 09 Something like yyyy MM dd+20. Any help would be more than appreciated!

No, cannot be done with text variables. Sorry!

Err, are we talking about text variables, or Javascript variables in scripting, or something else entirely (VB? Applescript)?
If we're talking about a scripting language, just add 20*86400 to the number of seconds. Exactly how depends on the language.

Thanks for your answers.
That´s a shame it cant be done with text variable as it would be something quite handy for some ppl i guess.
Anyway, is there a kind of plugin to do such a thing on indesign. I never used scripts on it before.
