 |

How can I get the hour of the day (or night) in 12 hr. format? 
This simply won't work well with 24-hour time:
| Code: | %a = @datetime(h)
%b = @sum(%a,5)
repeat
wait 5
if @equal(%b,@datetime(h))
rem Do something
end
until
:close
exit |

To get JUST the hour:
| Code: |
PARSE "%%hour", @datetime(h|am/pm)
INFO %%hour
|

I used something like this myself a few years back.. Tried finding the
original code so I could be sure, but couldn't. I think this is correct
code for what you need. If not, at least it gives you the idea.
-Garrett
| Code: |
If @greater(%b,12)
REM - PM
%b = @fsub(%b,12)
If @equal(%b,0)
%b = 12
End
Else
REM - AM
If @equal(%b,0)
%b = 12
End
End

Gees Mac, now you've got me wondering.... I'm not sure if he wanted
just the @datetime() format for 12 hour time, or if he wanted a routine
to convert 24 hour time to 12 hour time.
When does the hurting stop?

Since Garrett's example checks an IF twice either way,
there's really no need for the ELSE. This should also work
for time subtraction...
| Code: |
if @greater(%b, 12)
%b = @diff(%b, 12)
end
if @greater(1, %b)
%b = @sum(12, %b)
end
|
Cheers, Mac

Sorry if I was a bit vague with my question.
Mac, your example was sufficient for my needs, I just needed to know the
hour and did not want to have to deal with 24-hour time.
The other examples were a help too anyway.

Glad to hear it FF,
I changed this line in the last example about the time
you posted:
%b = @sum(12, %b)
I originally used @diff(), which didn't play nice
with negative numbers...
Cheers, Mac

Or like this:
| Code: | If @equal(%b,0)
%b = 12
End
If @greater(%b,12)
%b = @fsub(%b,12)
End |
Ok, now that we've started playing this, let's see how many ways we
can write the same thing!

Hey Garrett,
The purpose of my changing "if @equal(%b, 0)"
was to cover both adding and subtracting hours
from the time (in case ya get a negative number).
So it's not the same thing...
| Code: |
%b = -3
if @greater(%b, 12)
%b = @diff(%b, 12)
end
if @greater(1, %b)
%b = @sum(12, %b)
end
INFO %b
|
Cheers, Mac

May I ask how you would get a negative number when the numbers will
be from 0 through 24??? I don't know about you, but I've never had a
clock tell me that it was "-3:00".
You sure are right, it's not the same thing. You're clock must be as old
as Windows 95!!! Hehehehehehee.... Ok, I'm just givin' ya a bad time
on that one.

LOL, ya old geezer...
At least none of my clocks have ZERO hour numbers
(0 thru 24 - I guess that would be for 25 hour days?)...
