I bet there are threads somewhere in the forum about executing the script at the given time, but I seem not to find it.

so does anyone know where is the thread or have any suggestion that can help me to execute my script every morning around 7am.

sorry to ask you guys again. Did Bobo say the script works? how come when I tried it didn't run.

I kept change the time 1006 accordingly to the real time:
Code:
If TimeToMeet = 1006 ; If you wanted the script to start at 7 am put change 1006 to 700


as I waited and waited but I didn't see the Notepad running. Every time I made the change in the script according to the real time which was always 2 minutes ahead before I closed out the script then waited for Notepad to launch, but I didn't see. For example if 4:10pm, I would change to 1610.

please post your whole code. You are running the AHK file, right?

here is my code:
Code:
#Persistent
SetTimer, begin_execute, 500

begin_execute:
{

   FormatTime, time_to_build, , HHmm
   ;start_time = 700 ;start time is at 7:00am

   if(time_to_build = 1618) ;execute at 4:18pm
   {

      string1 := "start time is "
      Gosub, build_file_info

      string1 = %time_to_build%
      Gosub, build_file_info

      string1 := "`n"
      Gosub, build_file_info

      GoSub, run_the_uninstaller ;uninstall the program

      ExitAPP

   } else {

      string1 = %time_to_build%
      Gosub, build_file_info

      string1 := " is not the start time to test the build...`n"
      Gosub, build_file_info

      ExitApp

   }

}


I'm using regular NotePad with extension .ahk; each time I made changes, I compiled and closed out the script then waited, but the script didnt do anything. Unless I double clicked on the script file then it executed else it wouldn't run automatically at the given time.

Code:
      if(time_to_build = 1618) ;execute at 4:18pm
   {

      string1 := "start time is "
      Gosub, build_file_info

      string1 = %time_to_build%
      Gosub, build_file_info

      string1 := "`n"
      Gosub, build_file_info

      GoSub, run_the_uninstaller ;uninstall the program

      ExitAPP

   } else {

      string1 = %time_to_build%
      Gosub, build_file_info

      string1 := " is not the start time to test the build...`n"
      Gosub, build_file_info

      ExitApp

   }

}


I think this is being recognized as a function rather then an if. Try this:

Code:
      if time_to_build = 1618 ;execute at 4:18pm
   {

      string1 := "start time is "
      Gosub, build_file_info

      string1 = %time_to_build%
      Gosub, build_file_info

      string1 := "`n"
      Gosub, build_file_info

      GoSub, run_the_uninstaller ;uninstall the program

      ExitAPP

   } else {

      string1 = %time_to_build%
      Gosub, build_file_info

      string1 := " is not the start time to test the build...`n"
      Gosub, build_file_info

      ExitApp

   }

}

hmm really, but then when I double click on the script, the If-statement works though. The reason I know it works because of the output to the file and it matches with the condition.

the script file needs to be always running. The SetTimer will activate the If at the right time. If you don't want the exe always running, you must use task scheduler.

oh ok, that is the information I'm missing. I think I'm just going to use schedule task thus hope it works to execute my script daily in the morning.
