CronToTime.au3 UDF converts a Unix Cron expression into a DateTime string. On Unix systems a Cron expression made of five fields separated by blanks/tabs followed by a shell command to execute. e.g. 15-30 2,3,4,5 29 1-12 0-6 reboot +------------- minute (0 - 59) ¦ +------------- hour (0 - 23) ¦ ¦ +------------- day of month (1 - 31) ¦ ¦ ¦ +------------- month (1 - 12) ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ +------------- day of week (0 - 6) (Sunday to Saturday, 7 is also Sunday) ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ +------------- some shell command ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ * * * * * reboot (In this UDF the 6th field has no meaning and no influence on the result). For more information see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron Finds the next event of the specified Cron expression, starting from current UTC/GMT. _pce_findNextTimeUTC($sCronExp [, $bForwardSearch = True [, $minutesOffset = 0]]]) Finds the next event of the specified Cron expression. If $sDateTime is not set, local time will be used. _pce_findNextTime($sCronExp [, $bForwardSearch = True [, $sDateTime = "" [, $minutesOffset = 0]]]) Convert names in usable Cron expression values. e.g. "15-30 2,3,4,5 29 July-December Mo-Su" to "15-30 2,3,4,5 29 7-12 1-7" _pce_convertNames( $sCronExp ) See the include for details.
