Time_In
1.0
(c) 1989 John W. Wulff
Time_In is designed to allow the user to run a program based on a
configured time limit. These time periods are entered on the
command line with the lower and upper limits separated with a
hyphen and each period separated by a space. Up to 10 time
periods can be tested. The hours and minutes must be separated
by a colon. For example:
Time_In 03:00-04:00 11:10-12:00 15:00-15:30 21:10-23:00
Time_In will set an ErrorLevel which can be tested in a batch
file. If the current time is NOT within any of the time periods,
the ErrorLevel will be 0. If the current time IS within one of
the periods the program will return an ErrorLevel of 1. If NO
time parameters are entered on the command line, then Time_In
will return a 2. The following example represents a batch file
for testing these ErrorLevels.
Time_In 04:00-05:00 10:00-12:30
if errorlevel 1 DoSomething
if errorlevel 2 DoSomethingElse
It's suggested that your DOS manual be consulted for a full
discussion of batch file commands and testing of ErrorLevels if
you don't feel up to speed on this subject.
Enjoy!
