How to check if Date/Time falls into a period? Topic is solved

[rc76]

Hi,

If I wish to check if current workday and time falls within a specified period, than do xxx, how may I achieve that?

for example:

if (DayOfWeek = Mon, Tue, Wed) and (Time is between "1400 and 1600")
{
; than do xxx
}

I tried the following code but I think I am doing something wrong...

Code: Select all

FormatTime, currentTime_day, , ddd
FormatTime, currentTime, , HH:mm
FormatTime, currentTime_s, , HH:mm:ss

if (currentTime_day = "Mon" or currentTime_day = "Tue" or currentTime_day = "Wed") 
    and 
    (currentTime > "14:00" and currentTime < "16:00")
{
    ; than do xxx
}

Try:

Code: Select all

FormatTime, currentTime_day, , ddd
FormatTime, currentTime, , HHmm

if (currentTime_day ~= "Wed|Thu|Fri" and currentTime > "1800" and currentTime <= "1900")
	msgbox "Yeah!"
else
	msgbox "Nope"

This: currentTime > "14:00" does not work as "14:00" is just a string. You need an integer (or a float).

Awesome! Thank you so much flyingDman!

it seems the | operator not working in the if statement:

if (Operation_Current = "Restarting_AppOn|Restarting_AppOff") ---> Not working

if (Operation_Current = "Restarting_AppOn" or Operation_Current = "Restarting_AppOff") ---> working

[just me]

if (Operation_Current = "Restarting_AppOn" or Operation_Current = "Restarting_AppOff") ---> working

That's why
if (Operation_Current = "Restarting_AppOn" | Operation_Current = "Restarting_AppOff")
also works.

-> Operators must not be part of strings!
