How to add time to currnet time

USE: Shutdown timer with Equal function

[ShinobiSoft]

Could you be more specific about what you need or want to do?

[filip]

Example:

Time is 12:00 + preset for system shutdown is 30 minutes = 12:30

How to add time if current time is 12:00

%b = @fadd(@datetime(hh:nn),30) ???

Hard to explain

Some code...

:Half hourMENU
%b = ?
Dialog set,Status1,Shutdown timer set at: %B h
Dialog disable,Time
Dialog disable,BUTTON1
Dialog set,Time2, 30 minutes
goto loop

:Timer
%t = @datetime(hh:nn)
dialog set,time,%T
IF @Equal(%T,%B)
goto newloop
end

You need to break the time down into its separate componants.

im not sure but i believe i seen a dll that could add time together. i cant recall the name but maybe someone else can.

I know i downloaded it from here though

[filip]

Yes almost perfect...

But if time is let say 12:45 i get 12:75 to high value for standard clock range...

:Half hourMENU
%%timeNow = @datetime(hh|nn)
parse "%%hour;%%minutes",%%timeNow
%b = %%hour:@sum(%%minutes,30)
Dialog set,Status1,Shutdown timer set at: %B h
Dialog disable,Time
Dialog disable,BUTTON1
Dialog set,Time2, 30 minutes
goto loop

But @datetime without any format string argument returns a floating point number, which you can add to using @fadd, so all you need to know is the fractional value equivalent to 30 minutes.

Jules you are mathematics

What means fractional

like fragment or what
i dont come from english talking country

[ShinobiSoft]

I would simply add some error checking such as the following:

Thanks to all

im not finished yet

What if i use 1 hour or more

1 hour work but not always if time is 20:09 i get 21:9 (not 21:09)

2 hour dont work if time is 20:18 i get 21:78

:One hourMENU
%%timeNow = @datetime(hh|nn)
parse "%%hour;%%minutes",%%timeNow
if @greater(@sum(%%minutes,60),59)
%%hour = @succ(%%hour)
%%minutes = @diff(@sum(%%minutes,60),60)
%b = %%hour:%%minutes
else
%b = %%hour:@sum(%%minutes,60)
end
Dialog set,Status1,Shutdown timer set at: %B h
Dialog disable,Time
Dialog disable,BUTTON1
Dialog set,Time2, 1h
goto loop

:Two hoursMENU
%%timeNow = @datetime(hh|nn)
parse "%%hour;%%minutes",%%timeNow
if @greater(@sum(%%minutes,120),59)
%%hour = @succ(%%hour)
%%minutes = @diff(@sum(%%minutes,120),60)
%b = %%hour:%%minutes
else
%b = %%hour:@sum(%%minutes,120)
end
Dialog set,Status1,Shutdown timer set at: %B h
Dialog disable,Time
Dialog disable,BUTTON1
Dialog set,Time2, 2 h
goto loop

@datetime() will return a floating point number in the format xxxxx.yyyyyy - where xxxxx is the date portion in raw form and yyyyyy is time in raw form.
in raw form, 24hours = 1.0, therefore 1 hour = @fdiv(1,24) and 1 minute = @fdiv(1,1440)
Using these figures you can add them to a raw datetime value and then convert that to hh:mm using @datetime(hh:mm,%%rawvalue)

Hope this helps...

[filip]

This dont work
(seconds must be off)
@datetime(hh|nn,%%rawvalue) not @datetime(hh:nn,%%rawvalue)

:Two hoursMENU
%%timeNow = @datetime(hh|nn,%%rawvalue)
%%rawvalue =@fdiv(1,24)
parse "%%hour;%%minutes",%%timeNow
if @greater(@sum(%%minutes,120),59)
%%hour = @succ(%%hour)
%%minutes = @diff(@sum(%%minutes,120),60)
%b = %%hour:%%minutes
else
%b = %%hour:@sum(%%minutes,120)
end
Dialog set,Status1,Shutdown timer set at: %B h
Dialog disable,Time
Dialog disable,BUTTON1
Dialog set,Time2, 2 h
goto loop

Perhap this will help...

[Dr. Dread]

You could also use the DateTime.DLL which can add/subtract any time unit (IncTime function) and calculate
VDS date/time value from a specific date and time...

Thank you Hooligan

Your code fixed my:

Replace stupid input for time
Shutdown time Presets now working just fine
%K = @pred(%K) working (delay for shutdown)

Timer stable...
