Help on how to output week(s) and day(s)

[lenpartico]

I have this final output:-
event.value = (((diffWeeks) + " weeks ") + (diffDays) + " days");
But I want it to read weeks when there are more than one week, and week when it is 0 or 1 week, and similarly for days.
Please help.

How about not trying to do it all on one line?

build up a string and use if DiffWeek>1 to decide whether to add 'weeks' or 'week' to the string

[lenpartico]

That is too complex for me.
What I have done in the meanwhile is
event.value = (((diffWeeks) + " week(s) ") + (diffDays) + " day(s)");
Thanks.

I'll try it in two parts, but this seems to have a problem.

if (diffWeeks!=1)
{
event.value = ((diffWeeks) + " week")
}
else
event.value = ((diffWeeks) + " weeks");

never mind, i saw the error,this works

if (diffWeeks == 1)
event.value = ((diffWeeks) + " week")
else
event.value = ((diffWeeks) + " weeks");

I'll try the other part now.
