Run different parts of script based on Weekday

[kawliga751]

I'm new to Auotit but I have built a simple script that "runs" a different "batch" file based on certain days of the workweek. The script works now, but I was wanting to eliminate the need for a manual date entry. For example "First Batch' needs to run every Tuesday thru Thursday however "Second Batch" needs to run only on Friday and "Third Batch" needs to run only on Monday. In addition the 1st batch file runs on Tuesday, say 06/06 (the "FW" section) but then needs to actually report (the F4 date) the next weekday so this Batch actually needs 2 dates verified. 

What I'm trying to do is when the script is initiated it gets the date, verifies if and which weekday it is and in turn goes to and runs the appropriate "Batch' file.  

I've found ways to verify weekdays but can't find anything to do all of the above.

Any help is MUCH appreciated.

You could simply use the @WDAY macro in a switch, like so:

Switch @WDAY
    Case 2 To 4
        ;Call this Batch File
    Case 5
        ;Call This Batch File
    Case Else
        ;Do Something Else
EndSwitch

You can use @Wday macro to know the day of the week!

Switch @WDAY
    Case 1
        MsgBox(4096, "Day of the week", "Today is sunday", 3)
    Case 2
        MsgBox(4096, "Day of the week", "Today is Monday", 3)
    Case 3
        MsgBox(4096, "Day of the week", "Today is Tuesday", 3)
    Case 4
        MsgBox(4096, "Day of the week", "Today is Wednesday", 3)
    Case 5
        MsgBox(4096, "Day of the week", "Today is Thursday", 3)
    Case 6
        MsgBox(4096, "Day of the week", "Today is Friday", 3)
    Case 6
        MsgBox(4096, "Day of the week", "Today is Saturday", 3)
EndSwitch

EDITED: @JLogan3o13 we posted together!

this looks very useful but, how would I make this call a specific "line" in the script?

As in how would :

Switch @WDAY
    Case 2 To 4

then go to 

; ****First Batch file run

$Date = InputBox("Date","Enter the Date To Run the Report","Date Here MMDDYYYY",'M8')

Send('Batch')
Sleep(3000)
Send('{Enter}')

 

Thanks again!

Forget about GoTo and Just put the lines you want to perform under the Case statement and you're ready to go.
Another option is to put the code in separate Func statements and you run that Func from the Case statement.

Thanks to all , this is perfect!

one other suggestion - you may want to look at "ControlSend" instead of "send". The reason is Send only sends keystrokes to where ever the carrot is. If anything changes, your script breaks and all sorts of trouble can happen. ControlSend sends directly to the control in question so it makes things MUCH more stable.

@JLogan3o13 How to get time of a day, in hour and minute?? is the below way correct?

If @Hour = 12 And @Min = 20 Then
    Exit
Else
    Sleep(250)

You could simply test that and find out yourself without asking ...  right?
