00 - 24

example:

Do
Sleep(500)
Until @HOUR = "08"

That will stop the script at 8AM.

I manage to do a script that exit when the min is right, but how to do, if it should exit at, say 12:20?

thx in advance

Uh... you couldn't figure this out?

If @Hour = 12 And @Min = 20 Then ExitoÝ÷ ÙIåzË2¢éjy¢vx ÝvÛIbé¢vx Ûazqèº

Now what happens if you start that script at 12:19? It will sleep for 5 minutes, and next time it checks it will be 12:24 and it will not stop, it will wait until next 12:20.

Is there a syntax for date?

I'm working on throwing some rudimentary protection onto a CD that we've got to distribute to remote end-users (volume licensed), and I'd like to have a date-checker. I've been looking all over for the date check but am only seeing @Hour, @Min, etc.

Thx for that. I've just started to use autoit ,so I haven't been able to understand all functions and macros.

Go to the help file and click the index tab. Type "time" (without quotes) and the first thing in the list is the time and date macros.
