Stop time

wilfredtr · Post by **wilfredtr** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 3:00 pm

Looking for how to create a script that would finish at 9:00PM each day no matter which time it began. Conceptually, I think I need to grab the system time and craft an if statement that would go to a STOP label but where do I start.

HELP!

I assume this is a looping script? If a repeating script you can set the time you want it to stop repeating in Run Now/Advanced.

If a looping script, add something like this at the end of the loop:

Code: Select all

Hour>hh
Min>mm
Let>numTime=%hh%%mm%
If>numTime>2100
  Goto>stop
Endif

//put this at very end of script
Label>stop

The OP does say "no matter what time it began", could that be the previous day? If so that script would kill it immediately if it was started at 22:00

Yes, that's OK. If the script started at 22:00, I would want it to STOP right away!
