Execute Function on Time

[reg_hack]

Hi,

I've written a script, where users can write a time into a field in the GUI.On the Time a funktion should run.

With GUICtrlRead I read the User-Time from the input-field.

Later I want check the actually time with _NowTime and compare it with the usertime.

If it ist the same, the function should run on.

Obviously the Time from _NowTime and the Input-Field-Variable-Time are not the same

format although if you write it in a message-box its hh:mm:ss.

Can somebody tell me, how I can compare the two Times? Or should I fix the problem on a totaly other way?

Try this:

expandcollapse popup

Global $punkt = (".")
Global $startip1, $startip2,$startip3,$startip4,$endIP01,$endIP02,$endIP03,$endIP04
Global $nowtime
Global $runtime
Global $DoItAt
while 1
   $run = GUIGetMsg()
   IF $run = $cancel Then ExitLoop 
   IF $run = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
   IF $run = $execute Then
      $runtime = StringSplit ( GUICtrlRead($input_scanzeit), ':' )

; This is to insure we pass _TimeToTicks three numbers in case hh:mm is entered (with no seconds)
      If UBound($runtime) <> 4 Then
         ReDim $runtime[4]
      EndIf
      For $i = 1 To 3
         If $runtime[$i] = '' Then
            $runtime[$i] = 0
         EndIf
      Next
      $DoItAt = _TimeToTicks ( $runtime[1], $runtime[2], $runtime[3] )

      $startip1 = GUICtrlRead($input_startip_1)
      $startip2 = GUICtrlRead($input_startip_2)
      $startip3 = GUICtrlRead($input_startip_3)
      $startip4 = GUICtrlRead($input_startip_4)
      $endIP01 = GUICtrlRead($input_zielip_1)
      $endIP02 = GUICtrlRead($input_zielip_2)
      $endIP03 = GUICtrlRead($input_zielip_3)
      $endIP04 = GUICtrlRead($input_zielip_4)
      ExitLoop
      EndIf                             
WEnd

GUISetState ( @SW_HIDE )

While _TimeToTicks() < $DoItAt
      Sleep ( 1000 )
WEnd

exec_ping()

Exit

I moved reading the input fields which allows the GUI to close while waiting.

Hope this helps.

Nice Work Jerry!

Nice Work Jerry!

It looks great. But if I replace my code with yours, i get the warning:

... test123.au3(72,20) : ERROR: _TimeToTicks() called with wrong number of args.

While _TimeToTicks()

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^

Func _TimeToTicks($iHours, $iMins, $iSecs)

Func _TimeToTicks($iHours, $iMins, $iSecs)

The UDF has probably been updated - I'm running Beta 101. The Beta Help defines the function as:

_TimeToTicks([$iHours = @Hour, [$iMins = @Min, [$iSecs = @Sec]]])

That is, if it's not called with any parameters, it will use the current time as the default.

Just change the line to:

While _TimeToTicks( @Hour, @Min, @Sec) < $DoItAt

and it should work fine with the production UDF.

Both versions are perfect. Thank you very much.
