niyaz Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Hello: I want to run a program on specific minute of the clock, every hour. For example: the program will execute automatically on 12:25 pm, then again on 1:25 pm, then again on 2:25, and so on Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Look in the help file for the macros @HOUR, @MIN. Also, look at the If statement in there. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

DatMCEyeBall Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 @SEC is 0 only every minute and @MIN is 25 only hour. I don't see a problem. Did you run it?

ajag Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) @SEC is 0 only every minute and @MIN is 25 only hour. I don't see a problem. Did you run it? Opps... yes, now I see. My mistake, must have been blind.

Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted December 18, 2013 Moderators Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) niyaz, please also note that (your experience in this thread notwithstanding), we do not make a habit of spoon feeding code to people. This forum is for those who would like assistance with their own scripts, rather than simply asking someone to do it for them. In the future if you have questions we are happy to help, but please be prepared to show us some of the effort you've already put into it.

ajag Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Hi JLogan3o12, I did not ask for something (I'm not the post opener). I only misunderstood the code of DatMCEyeBall.

jdelaney Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 This will run the script multiple times, since the loop is not sleeping for 1 second. Global $fClose = False ; Global variable to indicate close HotKey press HotKeySet("!{ESC}", "_Exit") ; ALT+ESC While 1 If $fClose Then ExitLoop If @MIN = 25 And @SEC = 0 Then ; @MIN will only be = 25 every hour Run("notepad.exe") ; Do other stuff here EndIf Sleep(10) ; Avoid high CPU usage WEnd Func _Exit() $fClose = True EndFunc corrected: While 1 If $fClose Then ExitLoop If @MIN = 25 And @SEC = 0 Then ; @MIN will only be = 25 every hour Run("notepad.exe") Sleep(1000) ; Do other stuff here EndIf Sleep(10) ; Avoid high CPU usage WEnd Would still look into task scheduler for this...no point having a script running to only be used so infrequently IEbyXPATH-Grab IE DOM objects by XPATH IEscriptRecord-Makings of an IE script recorder ExcelFromXML-Create Excel docs without excel installed GetAllWindowControls-Output all control data on a given window.
