Putting a Frame on a TextLabel via a constant changing value

So, I have a ScreenGUI, a Frame, and 31 textlbales all named ‘TextLabel’ though they each have a text with a number 1-31. Here’s the value that’s always changing.

local Day = os.date("%d")

Q: how would I insert a frame in the correct textlabel that day, so today is the 17 so how would I put a frame in the textlabel that’s text is ‘17’?

try this:

local Frame = ScreenGui.Frame
local Day = os.date("%d")
local Stroke = Instance.new("UIStroke")
Stroke.Thickness = 5
Stroke.Color = Color3.new(255, 255, 0)

for _, TL in pairs(Frame:GetChildren()) do
  if TL:IsA("TextLabel") then
    if TL.Text == Day then
      Stroke.Parent = TL
      break
    end
  end
end

31 text labels with the text 1-31…?
for why, this is so unnecessary

You do realize that TextLabels have this amazing property called .Text right. Yk the property that allows you to change the text to whatever you want. Its really not that hard to get the day using DateTime and just changing the text of the label to the day, instead of having a label for each day.

I think they’re making a calendar and they all are offset at different positions so they need 31 individual TextLabels

so you use 80 different text labels that serve the same purpose when you can easily change the .Text property :nerd_face:

they aren’t all in the same place! think of it like a List or a grid!
