weekdays timer

NewzUK · Post by **NewzUK** » Mon Apr 12, 2004 4:14 am

Hi - I'm trying to send some info to the channel at certain times from Monday to Friday only and another one for Sunday to Thursday only...

I have this proc for starters that will send it for Monday, but is there a way to add the rest of the days of the week to it as well?

bind time - "30 09 *" us:opening
proc us:opening {min hour day month year} {
if {[clock format [clock seconds] -format "%A"] != "Monday"} { return }
putserv "PRIVMSG #Newsroom :stuff to send"
}

any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

try with:

Code: Select all

if {![string equal [clock format [clock seconds] -format "%A"] "Monday"]} {
return
}

or search the forum cos I belive this had been discussed before.

...and to get it to send the message from monday to friday?

have searched the forum but this dealt with a single day only.

Like crazycat said, use the %u formatting and then check if the number is below 6 (i.e. Mon-Fri).
