Hey all, Thanks to Nahuel for helping me and Smoke_N's function and INETGetSource and StringRegExp we can now tap into www.google.com Latest API for time and timezone information. They way it works is if you go to www.google.com and type for your search "time morocco" you will get the time and date and timezone information at the top of the search. I was having fits getting this to work and Nahuel helped me get-R-done in the help section...

Herer is the file:

Please give me some feedback, I still have a slight bug in that it still shows the < b > tags in the string. I tried working them out but coulcn't get the right StringRegExp. If someone can work that out and post it would be awesome..

google_worldtime.au3

To get rid of the bold tags you could just do this 

$aSRE[0] = StringReplace($aSRE[0],'<b>','')
    Return StringReplace($aSRE[0],'</b>','')

Needs some work though because I get '0.' for London and Paris. New York and Morocco work ok though. (Stopped trying after that.)

London and Paris, when searched on Google, have other bolded values below them for cities in the US called Paris and London. I guess that breaks the regular expression.

(Try searching "time london" and "time paris" to see what I'm talking about; compare those to "time new york" and "time morocco".)

It's a pretty cool script, though; good job gesller!

This is a rather crude way to get the times for the first city found when there is more than one, or more than one time zone.

StringRegExp is the best way but I can't see how to do it either.

Func _GoogleTime($sCity)
    Dim $sSource[10],$n
    $ss='alt="Clock"></td><td valign=top><b>'
    $n = 0
    
    $sSource = _INetGetSource("http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=time+" & $sCity)
    $aSRE=StringRegExp($sSource,'<(?i)td valign=middle><(?i)b>(.*?)<(?i)/td>',3)
    If $aSRE = 1 Then
    ;FileWrite($sCity & ".tme",$sSource)
        $a = StringInStr($sSource,'alt="Clock"></td><td valign=top><b>')
        $sSource = StringMid($sSource,StringInStr($sSource,$ss) + StringLen($ss),100)
        $sSource = StringReplace($sSource,'<br><table border=0','|')
        
        $aSRE = StringSplit($sSource,'|')
        If $aSRE[0] = 1 Then
            MsgBox(4096,"Location", "NOT FOUND")
        Else
            $aSRE[1] = StringReplace($aSRE[1],'<b>','')
            Return StringReplace($aSRE[1],'</b>','')
            Return $aSRE[1]
        EndIf
    Else
        $aSRE[0] = StringReplace($aSRE[0],'<b>','')
        Return StringReplace($aSRE[0],'</b>','')
    EndIf
    
EndFunc;==>_GoogleTime()

Skizmata did a good sspellchecker and so did Toady. AzKay did a very neat online _Define.

Yes, I love the one Skizmata did and have been tinkering with it to see if I could change it to do editing within a listview or edit (for my purposes)but no luck so far. I will have to search for Toady's, have not seen it yet. Thank you...

Hi,

looks good now .... also if I would prefer to see 22:30 (international time format) instead of 10:30 pm.

Where is the button to update the system time?

Where is the button for "Sterkrade" (the part of the town where I live).

Best regards, Reinhard

@ReFran

This will update your system time. http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=55907

"Sterkrade" is not defined by google to have a time setup. Sorry... <_<

Also, I do not see that google offers this military/24hr time format. You could add a clock device to the existing script to have it add to the time format or adjust the regexpression but is not something I wish to pursue for mine script. What you make of my script can be anything you wish. The code is there... Enjoy! :)
