applications - App that would open a url based on the current date in a browser

I am looking for an app or a way how to automate opening a URL based on current date on the Android 7.0 phone:

On 2017-07-01 it would open the following url in a browser:

http://myserver.com/daily_reports/Day_20170701.htm

eventually

http://myserver.com/weekly_reports/Week_2017_27.htm

Since the ISO number of the current week is 27.

Is there any solution for that out of the box?

Answer

With Tasker this is very easy.

Setup a task like this:

1. Code → Run Shell:
   
   
   
   • Command: date +"%Y%m%d"
   
   
   • Store Output In: %date
   
   
   
   


2. App → Launch App → select your browser app:
   
   
   

For weekly URL, create an another task:

1. Code → Run Shell:
   
   
   
   • Command: date +"%Y_%V"
   
   
   • Store Output In: %week_no
   
   
   
   



2. App → Launch App → select your browser app:
   
   

You can save these two tasks, create a shortcut to them on your home screen and tap that shortcut to open the concerned URL. Or, you can setup a profile in Tasker for your requisite automation and attach those tasks to that.
