Display next 5 days excluding Sundays in javascript

I am displaying the following code for next 5 days 

function setDateTime() {
    var timesOffice = (officeTimes[officeID] + "").split(",");
    //alert(officeTimes[officeID]+":12:"+timesOffice[0]);
    var dt = new Date(correctDate);
    var dateOptions = "";
    var firstdateString = "";
    var totalDays = 5;
    for (i = 0; i < totalDays; i++) {

        var sateString = dt.getFullYear() + " " + monthNames[dt.getMonth()] + " " + (dt.getDate());
        //console.log("i:"+i+"s:"+sateString);
        dateFlag = 0;
        var j = 0;
        for (j = 0; j < timesOffice.length; j++) {

            if (checkValidDateTime(sateString, timesOffice[j])) {
                dateFlag = 1;
                break;
            }
        }
        dt.setDate(dt.getDate() + 1);
        if (dateFlag == 0) {
            totalDays++;
            continue;
        }
        if (firstdateString == "") firstdateString = sateString;
        dateOptions = dateOptions + '<option value="' + sateString + '">' + sateString + '</option>';


    }
    $(".date").html(dateOptions);
}

I want to exclude Sundays from this list

As T.J Crowder said, you can use Date.getDay() to get the current weekday in the week. Giving some integer from 0 to 6 where 0 is Sunday and 6 is Saturday.

To show the next weekdays I supposed we don't want to print a bunch of numbers on the screen, so we can use a weekdays array to go from numbers to their corresponding text:

var weekdays = ["Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday"];

Now we can just use a for loop to scroll through these, starting from the todays day you get from using .getDay(). Note that if you go over we want to go back to 0, so I'll use a separate variable j in the loop for that:

var weekdays = ["Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday"];
var date = new Date();
var day = date.getDay();  // Current day
var numDays = 5;          // Number next days

for(var i = day; i <= day + numDays; i++ ) {
    var j = i;
    j = j % weekdays.length;
    console.log(weekdays[j]);
}

To show it can overflow and move back to Sunday, Here is a fiddle that prints the next 20 days.

To exclude Sunday, simply check that if(j != 0) , then print:

for(var i = day; i <= day + numDays; i++ ) {
    var j = i;
    j = j % weekdays.length;
    if( j != 0 ) 
        console.log(weekdays[j]); // Only prints non-Sundays
}

Although since today is Sunday, suppose you want to include Today's Sunday, but not the next Sundays. Simply change the if statement to if( j != 0 || i == 0 ), which will make an exception for the first element. Here is an example of that.

You can use the getDay method to get the day of the week:

function setDateTime() {
    var timesOffice = (officeTimes[officeID] + "").split(",");
    //alert(officeTimes[officeID]+":12:"+timesOffice[0]);
    var dt = new Date(correctDate);
    var dateOptions = "";
    var firstdateString = "";
    var totalDays = 5;
    int i=0;
    while(i<totalDays) {

        if(dt.getDay() != 0) // exclude Sundays
        {
            var sateString = dt.getFullYear() + " " + monthNames[dt.getMonth()] + " " + (dt.getDate());
            //console.log("i:"+i+"s:"+sateString);
            dateFlag = 0;
           var j = 0;
           for (j = 0; j < timesOffice.length; j++) {
                if (checkValidDateTime(sateString, timesOffice[j])) {
                    dateFlag = 1;
                    break;
                }
            }

            if (firstdateString == "") firstdateString = sateString;
            dateOptions = dateOptions + '<option value="' + sateString + '">' + sateString + '</option>';

            i++;
        }
        dt.setDate(dt.getDate() + 1);
    }
    $(".date").html(dateOptions);
}

You can tell what day of the week a Date instance represents using its getDay function:

if (dt.getDay() === 0) {
    // It's Sunday
}
else {
    // It isn't
}

I figure you can take it from there... :-)
