You aren't updating your $sDate, so it will always be yesterday.

While 1
    If @YEAR & "/" & @MON & "/" & @MDAY = $sNewDate Then ; condition to check if the current date equals our newDate
        MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Today + 1 days:" & $sNewDate); if the condition is true then message popup
    EndIf
    Sleep(5000)
 WEnd

How about this idea?  It's something to work from.

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

#include <Date.au3>

Global $current_mday = @MDAY

Do
  If $current_mday <> @MDAY Then ; condition to check if the current date equals our newDate
    $current_mday = @MDAY
    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Today + 1 days: " & _DateAdd('d', 1, @YEAR & "/" & @MON & "/" & @MDAY)) ; if the condition is true then message popup
  EndIf
Until False

Edit: code addition

Every time I change my computer's date by one day the msgbox pops up.

thank you for replay

 

jdelaney

i like your solution is there any idea about the burning CPU

 

jaberwacky

you use the result in the message box i need it to be true  by means

when i put my script in startup folder exactly after one day from it's execution  the message appears

[jaberwacky]

Have you seen my edit to the code.  I forgot an important line.

[camilla]

 

jaberwacky

yes, but as i said the result of new day after appears in the message  box you use @MDAY and add one day to it in the message box

look at my script

take current day

add one day to it

if it is the new day

message box appears

it may add more than one day

and it may not just open message box also you can run ccleaner  have you got the idea

[jdelaney]

The best way would be to schedule a task for the $sNewDate.

The scheduled task cmd can be a one-liner, like:

consolewrite(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteLine "MsgBox(0, ''Hello World!'', ''Hi!'')"')

note: grab the output of the consolewrite for the actual task command.

That would use 0 cpu/ram

No, I don't, but the idea wasn't to provide a complete working solution.  I just wanted to give you something to work with.

yes i agree with you, but schedule a task always have problem in the different OS windows7/windows8

camilla,

Is your goal to run CCleaner once per day, just after midnight?

camilla,

Addressing the high usage of the CPU problem only.

Note jdelaney's script of post #2 - The sleep function is outside of the If...Then...EndIf function, but inside of the While...Wend loop (where it is supposed to be). This is the correct placement of the Sleep function.

Your script of post #1 has the Sleep function, but it is inside of the If...EndIf which is only accessed when the If statement is true.   

Notice jaberwacky's script of post #3. This script, when run, causes a higher than necessary CPU usage because of the absence of a Sleep function within the Do...Until loop.
