Run and end script at specified time

[bucky002]

I want to run my script at 3 and end it at 5, but it isn't working. I thought that this would work because it has worked before.

If @HOUR = 3 Then
 ;Code here
Endif

If @HOUR = 5 Then
 Exit
Endif

Positive this is easy i've just gone blank.

Thanks.

in Help it say for @Hour

Range is 00 to 23

MsgBox(64, 'Debug Hour', @Hour)

Fishing lessons? :-)

Thanks Smoke N and Rick.

Works great now.

Figured it was PM for him where ever he was, and he would have seen why 3 wasn't working .

I was wondering that.. too i thought it was 01-24.. so it returns 00 at 12 am.. huh

12 am is 00 yes. So it's 00 to 23 ... If you were asking.

You might actually want to try this...

If @HOUR >= 16 AND @HOUR < 17 Then
     ;Code here
ElseIf @HOUR >= 17
     Exit
Endif

Might be more reliable if the script is started in-between 3 and 5.

Will do.

Because the hour isn't counting minutes and seconds.

Edit:

16 is 4:00 PM not 3:00 PM that would be 15.

I just liked the lesson in how to debug code with a MsgBox... as opposed to - here is the code. Although that came later anyway.

For those that did not get it:

"Fishing lessons?" as in the saying:

Give a man a fish and...

but teach a man to fish and... lifetime.

...but maybe it should be:

Teach a man to debug code and he can just buy fish. :-)

"Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day...

But teach a man to debug code and he will create an blockbuster 3d first-person shooter and make millions and buy a ferrari and a mansion in the Hamptons and his butler Bartholomew will cook fish for him so he will never go hungry..."

"...or go bald because he can't find the typo in 10,000 lines of code, causing him to pull out all of his hair..."

Either one... Yeah, they sound right.

[SpookMeister]

I always liked:

Build a man a fire and he's warm for a few hours...

Light a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.

MsgBox? Fuxxake! What century are we in?

Surely you mean...

ConsoleWrite("debug: " & $string & @LF)

If all you had time for was a good one line post - ConsoleWrite would not be the one that I would pick.

I would not suggest ConsoleWrite unless:

I was sure that the OP was using an editor that could handle it

or

I was willing to stick around for the "ConsoleWrite does nothing" post

or

I was willing to take the time to point the OP to SciTE

and

explain a bit about the console...

(In this case, bucky002 does use SciTE - and if I knew that ahead of time, then I might suggest "Ctrl-Shift-D" over ConsoleWrite. It is just so quick to use "Ctrl-Shift-D" "Alt-F5".)

[mr.underperson]

Check.

Check.

and...

No way! It's crap.

As for you last part, WHAT?

I don't use SciTE, so that's all meaningless to me.

Allows you to see the output without halting the script, or something, does it?

Gotta be better than that archaic, amateur-hour MsgBox nonsense, anyway.

(mu checks)

It inserts a ConsoleWrite command. HAHAHAH!!!!

Very funny!

[herewasplato]

Just to be clear:

I was speaking of the heavily customized version of SciTE SciTE4AutoIt3 and not the generic version.

Using this one line of code:

$data = "text"

then highlighting $data and pressing "Ctrl-Shift-D" creates a debug MsgBox, not a ConsoleWrite.

You can change what SciTE does when those keys are pressed:

"amateur-hour"? - I resemble that remark :-)

@bucky002,

Sorry for the highjack of sorts. I hope you don't get an e-mail with each post to your thread.
