Date restriction not working here. Script runs every

[Diana (Cda)]

Oh, my Gawd! <g> Now _that_ is something far out. I can't make much heads or tails of it, but I'll definitely take you word for the fact that it works!

<phew> I just have to hope that all I need to do is change the numbers because I won't be good for much else <lol>.

Thanks! I know this must have taken a whole lot of time and effort. I sure couldn't have come up anything close to the above.

There is, unfortunately, one horrible thing, I just realized. There is some func code in here <sigh>. As I mentioned in post #5 (http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=72627&view=findpost&p=529974) and you later responded to in post #7 (http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=72627&st=0&p=530058&#entry530058) where you said: "You could still use the second method even without calling a function.", what do we do now??? I can tell you from experience that func code will cost me no end of trouble because the original versions of day/time restriction codes didn't work about on average 85% of the time because of that.

Here's an earlier yet simpler yet much more cumberson first version of code that I've not posted in this thread before. I had to hunt down some earlier backups of my scheduler. It's _great_ stuff and much, much better than nothing, but I found it so difficult to work with even with all the prompting even with all the commented-out lines I put in!:

They both are geared to do basically the same thing yet what a difference! ??? What to do???

Thanks bunches!! I'll understand if you throw up your hands in disgust with me <g>, but I do know what I know and the above example with no tons of GUI code with func in them, etc., and is calling a very simple app to launch. Some of the other scripts get very complex where any extra func command throws it off.

Cheers.

Hmmmmm.

Don't see where the functions will throw anything off if you #include the file I PMd you.

You can just use it instead of <Date.au3> which isn't required with those functions.

Edit; I should have also pointed out that _NowTime(4) returns a string and you can not perform math operations on it because of the colon.

Well, since you insist on having that colon in there, and we can't perform math on it...

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I think I need to correct some points here.

True, you can't do extensive maths on strings, but you can do simple <,>,<=,>= checks. For example:

$Now = "12:30"

$StartTime = "12:00"
$EndTime = "14:00"

If $Now >= $StartTime And $Now <= $EndTime Then MsgBox(0,"","Time is within range!")oÝ÷ ÚÚòr§)àÓ~£hmê.¶ÈzíêÚÊ,¢g¨~Ø^{¦¦W¬¦-yØ^­æ«xdNI*/z·(bq«b¢{(~Ê&zØbÞ¯+Þ¯+"^N¬Ì!jܳ§µçjº^©oÝ÷ ÙW«ÊȦ¦W­¢éÝz»-jw]¡ë'ßÛn±çîËb¢{¡ë'ßÛn±è§r[zÀ%²Ê°j{m¢Ê^r'òqêíj)ìu¬¬¡ûa{Ú+ºw v趻§¢t·ô®«­¢+Øì´´´MÉ¥ÁÐÍ¡½Õ±½¹±äÉÕ¸¥ÑݸѡÍÑ¥µÌ¡¡ éµ´¤´´´(ÀÌØíMÑÉÑQ¥µôÅÕ½ÐìÀØèÀÀÅÕ½Ðì(ÀÌØí¹Q¥µôÅÕ½ÐìÈÌèÔäÅÕ½ÐìíÑ¡¥ÌµÕÍбÑÈ¥¸Ñ¡M5䡤¹¸¼¹½ÐÕÍÀÀèÀÀ¤((ì´´´MÉ¥ÁÐÍ¡½Õ±½¹±äÉÕ¸ÑݸѡÍÑÌ¡54½¤´´´(ÀÌØíMÑÉÑÑôÅÕ½ÐìÄȼÀÄÅÕ½Ðì(ÀÌØí¹ÑôÅÕ½ÐìÄȼÈÔÅÕ½Ðì((ì´´´MÉ¥ÁÐÍ¡½Õ±½¹±äÉÕ¸½¸Ñ¡ÍåÌ´´´(ÀÌØíåÌô ÅÕ½ÐìİȰ̰а԰ذÜÅÕ½Ðì¤ìÄõÍÕ¹ä°Èõµ½¹ä°ÌõÑÕÍäѡɵ½Ù̹¤((ì´´´MÐÕÉɹÐѽѥµ´´´(ÀÌØí9½ÝQ¥µô!=UHµÀìÅÕ½ÐìèÅÕ½ÐìµÀì5%8(ÀÌØí9½ÝÑô5=8µÀìÅÕ½Ðì¼ÅÕ½ÐìµÀì5d((ì´´´

...change $Days = ("1,2,3,4,5,6,7") to $Days = ("2,3,4,5,6") to prevent running at the weekend.
