Hi,
don´t know, if this was suggested before. Searched forum for this, but did not find anything about it.
How about to extend the wait function to wait until a specific time of the day. e.g. wait 09:00:10, waits until its 9:00:10.
I know this function from another tool and find it very comfortable.
Are there any plans, to realize that in future versions?
Regards,
Matthias Rebbe
wait 13:01:00,

Hi,
That's a nice idea. Unfortunately it is now too late to add to version 8.0 which is being released later this week. However, here's a subroutine you can use:
SRT>WaitUntilTime
Hour>hh
Min>mm
Sec>ss
If>WaitUntilTime_Var_1%hh%:%mm%:%ss%,WaitUntilTime
END>WaitUntilTime
When you need to call it do this:
GoSub>WaitUntilTime,12:45:30
Modify the time as required.
Just paste the Subroutine into any macro you need this functionality in and simply use the above line when you need to wait until a specific time.

@mtettmar
thanks, i will give that a try.
@Bob Hansen,
found this function in a german program called clickexe or the english counterpart instantexe.
there are some more features of clickexe i would like to be included in MacroScheduler especially the possibility to define a popupmenu for the systemtrayicon of a script/compiled exe combined with the wait function.
Or the possiblity to create or remove the systemtrayicon (with a defined icon), while the script is running.
For this kind of things i use clickexe, for all the other stuff - and this is much more - i use MacroScheduler, as its much easier to use because of the editor and also its more stable, while programming/scripting.
Best regards,
Matthias
