Set time using a timeserver

[piccaso]

So i can query a timeserver using DAYTIME protocol

Local $recv, $sock, $cnt
if not TCPStartup() Then
    ConsoleWrite("TCPStartup() Error" &@cr)
    Exit
EndIf
$sock = TCPConnect(TCPNameToIP("ts1.univie.ac.at"), 13)
if $sock = -1 Then
    ConsoleWrite("TCPConnect() Error" &@cr)
    Exit
EndIf
While Not StringInStr($recv, @CR)
    $recv &= TCPRecv($sock, 64)
    $cnt += 1
    if $cnt > 2 Then
        Sleep (250)
    EndIf
    if $cnt > 15 Then
        ConsoleWrite("Connection Timeout" & @cr)
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
WEnd
ConsoleWrite($recv)
TCPCloseSocket($sock)
TCPShutdown()

the answer looks like 'Sat Oct 22 04:05:34 2005'

any sugestions about how to pass it to the os?

thanx in advance...

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c DATE " &$DateTimeDetails, "", @SW_HIDE) should help (you are passing parameters to the inbuilt DOS DATE function - do a similar thing for the TIME function). Try executing from the command line to see what format/order your particular locale needs the date/time in.

Good luck!

NB: Check out w32tm.exe with the /resync /nowait options to use the preconfigured time servers in Windows. See http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechn...95d482db3a.mspx

This thing has to work on WinME to and Date has different formats depending on the country code (and i dont know how to optain it)...

Check out the _DateTimeFormat function in Date.au3 - one of the standard UDFs bundled with AutoIT3.
