UCCX Ver 8 adding XML

Question

                   I'm having trouble with a script pulling the data from an xml file.  I would like the script to run normal Monday thru Friday but on Saturday run on the first and third.  On my script have a holiday xml already but I would like to add an xml for first and third saturday.  I'm having trouble with the path. I attached a screenshot of the xml and script. I'm not sure if I'm add the xml file in the wrong location on the script as well.

Hi,
er... your XML structure is a tiny bit overcomplicated - is it something you can control? If yes, can't you create something like this:
>
This would be easier to work with. For instance, using an XPath expression like this
count(//specialdate[@date="5/2/2012" and @from>"5" and @to<"23"])
or just simply
//specialdate[@date="5/2/2012" and @from>"5" and @to<"23"]
Of course, "5/2/2012" and "5" and "23" should countain actual date and time (hour) values.
As pointed out by Anthony, Java can help you getting the day of week in month - and check against the actual date. For example, if you add a new boolean variable named isSpecialDate and use a Set step to assign its value to a code block like this:
Set isSpecialDate = {
        java.util.Calendar calendar = new java.util.GregorianCalendar();
        calendar.setTime(new java.util.Date());
        if (calendar.get(java.util.Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK)  == java.util.Calendar.SATURDAY && (
                calendar.get(java.util.Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH) == 1 ||
                calendar.get(java.util.Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH) == 3
            // it's that special date
               return true;
        } else {
            // just a regular rainy day
               return false;
        } //else
}//block
then the value of the isSpecialDate variable would be true if it's the first or third Saturday of the month.
