Hello list!

Is there a way to schedule an item as a recurring event AND tell org
to exclude it from specific weekdays (for example, Saturday & Sunday)
?

Thanks in advance,

Marcelo.

  Hi Marcelo,
  
  The easiest thing is to define n distinct events, one for each pf the 
  n days of the week for which you wish to schedule it. When I do that, 
  I put them all under a `container' heading that exists solely to group 
  them.
  
  That isn't entirely satisfactory, but it works well enough for me. You 
  can also use sexp diary entries 
  <http://orgmode.org/manual/Timestamps.html#Timestamps> though I've 
  never bothered.
  
  Best,
  
  Brian vdB

  This is becoming a FAQ.
  
  The short answer is 'no'. The somewhat longer answer is that you can use
  diary-sexps to have appointments only on weekdays, but you cannot use them
  for things you want to tick off as 'DONE'. The only working solution is to
  make separate recurring appointments for each of the weekdays.

  Best wishes,
  Dirk.
