Countdown to some fixed clock period


Recommended Posts

Hi, I am have build a program that notefies me at fixed hours. Like so:

06:00

10:00

20:00

etc...

Everything works fine but I would like to have a countdown. It must also work from 23:00 to 01:00. I have run into problems here. I need this to work every day so setting a date is not going to work.

Do you have any sugestions/questions?

I can write a litle example of what i got if that is any help, but i doupt that.

Thank you in advance.

There are those that believe that the perfect heist lies in the preparation.
Some say that it’s all in the timing, seizing the right opportunity. Others even say it’s the ability to leave no trace behind, be a ghost.

Thank you for your answer. Sadly I did not entierly understand. If you could provide an example I would be very greatfull. I have written a litle example of what i got so far. I thought a focused example would be easier to read than my full script. It should contain the main features.

Thank you again, I will read yor post a few time more and see if I can understand better.

you can play with it something like this

(hope that i did not make mistake whele playing with it)

#Include <Date.au3>

Global $h, $m ,$s
Global $YY=@YEAR, $MM=@MON, $DD=@MDAY


;----------------------------
$alarm = '16:15:00'
;----------------------------


$split = StringSplit($alarm,":")
If _TimeToTicks(@HOUR,@MIN,@SEC) > _TimeToTicks($split[1],$split[2],$split[3])  Then
    $sJulDate = _DateToDayValue (@YEAR, @MON, @MDAY)
    _DayValueToDate ($sJulDate+1, $YY, $MM, $DD)
EndIf
While 1
    $timeuntill = StringReplace(_DateDiff( 's',$YY&'/'&$MM&'/'&$DD&' '&$alarm,_NowCalc()),"-","")*1000
    _TicksToTime($timeuntill, $h,$m,$s)
    ToolTip($h&":"&$m&":"&$s)
    If $h+$m+$s = "0" Then
        MsgBox(0,"alarm Msgbox","alarm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!",2)
        $sJulDate = _DateToDayValue (@YEAR, @MON, @MDAY)
        _DayValueToDate ($sJulDate+1, $YY, $MM, $DD)
    EndIf
WEnd

Thank you so much. I got it working with help of your example. This is the new example with multiple fix points and multiple notifications (for the googlers out there).
