Thank you, Kurt, this is exactly what I was looking for.

Can the system date and/or time be changed with AutoIt? I am familiar with the @HOUR and related macros but they only work one way, i.e. it is not possible to assign a value to them.

Thank you for the elaboration. I had read the underscore character as a minus sign and wondered why it didn't work.

I have a script with long lines. Is it possible to break the lines to make the script easier to read? Does AutoIt have something like a "line continuation character" (e.g. \) that can be used to break long lines into smaller pieces? Here is an example: ControlSend("some very long text", \ $variable,"more text")
