I give this program and source code to the Public Domain.
Welcome to the wonderful world of little utilities.
The one you are checking out now is a little thing I whipped
up so that I could have operating hours for the doors on my
BBS. Basically what it does is this; given two times, it
will return a DOS error level depending on whether the
current system time is between the two specified or not
between. You must give it the time in the 24 hour format
with a colon (:) separating the hours and minutes. The
intended use is for batch files. Here is an example:
@ECHO OFF
TIMETEST 13:30 21:00
IF ERRORLEVEL 2 GOTO END
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO BAD
IF ERRORLEVEL 0 GOTO OK
:OK
ECHO It is between.
GOTO END
:BAD
ECHO It is not between.
:END
You could replace the times in the above file with %1 and %2
so you can pass the times to the batch file. If the second
time passed is less that the first it assumes an "overnight"
time period.
Well, I've rambled on enough. This is a simple thing
and the source is included so you can play with it.
