Umm... yes? Wouldn't this work? REM MSG [myvar]%
You can structure your reminder files like this:
### setvar.rem ###
# Do whatever calculations are needed...
SET myvar some_complicated_expression
### reminders.rem ###
DO setvar.rem
# Your normal reminders go here
### printvar.rem
DO setvar.rem
REM MSG [myvar]%
To get your normal reminders: remind reminders.rem
To get the value of myvar: remind printvar.rem
Regards,
Dianne.
