Diana (Cda) Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Is there a way to word a script so that it runs only between, say, 5:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., or whatever times we designate? Also, for a second script, that the times be limited but also limiting it to certain days or weekdays or weekend days? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of _Date/Time functions in the help file... that and AdlibEnable() to check a function that checks those dates/days/time at a specific interval, should be all you need. Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

It's becoming a pain to admit it but I look over the help file and find it quite difficult to work with. Granted, I don't seem to be a natural programmer; however, once I have a bit of code that works, thankfully I seem to be able to modify it fairly successfully. This is going to be pretty complex code, I have a feeling ... <sigh>Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weaponx Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Do you want the script to be launched by task scheduler? - or - Do you want the script to run continuously? If so you could do: #include <Date.au3> $startDateTime = "2007/09/18 9:00:00" $endDateTime = "2007/09/18 9:38:00" While 1 While _DateDiff ( 's', $startDateTime, _NowCalc ()) > 0 AND _DateDiff ( 's', $endDateTime, _NowCalc ()) < 0 ;Insert code here MsgBox(0,"","Program Running") WEnd WEnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
