Hi,

Why not run the script with scheduled task?

Otherwise you can create a loop, but you will have 100% cpu usage! So this is not such great idea...

dim $iTimehascome

$iTimehascome = 0

do
    if @HOUR >= 4 Then
        ; your code goes here
        $iTimehascome = 1
    EndIf
Until $iTimehascome = 1

Sure, if you don't have a Sleep() in a loop the script's CPU-usage will be close to 100%...

Well you can get the time from the internet

i know. but how?

i must save a webpage locally, fileopen that file and search the string with hour, grab the time into a variable and so on? o or is a more simple method?
