Script Dependent on Current Time Topic is solved

[Alexander2]

The following script is intended to display a message box when the mouse buttons are not swapped and the current time is before 8 p.m. Does anyone know why the message appears even when the current time is later than 8 p.m. (20:00)?

Code: Select all

SysGet, bswapped, 23
if (bswapped=0) and (%A_Hour%<20)
MsgBox The mouse buttons are not swapped, and it is before 8 p.m.

As your if condition begins with opening parantheses, the condition is interpreted as an expression. In an expression, you should use A_Hour without the enclosing percent signs. In an expression, %A_Hour% will return an empty value, which in turn is evaluated as being smaller than 20.

This should work...

Code: Select all

SysGet, bswapped, 23
if (bswapped=0) and (A_Hour<20)
MsgBox The mouse buttons are not swapped, and it is before 8 p.m.

Edit: Changed to "<"

@SirSocks, that should be (A_Hour<20).

Thank you for the explanation. That was a small detail which I was not aware of.
