Re: [DUG]: Comparing Times

Your "TimeOf_Event" isn't even close to being inside the boundaries of Time_A and Time_B. If you just want to run the event as soon as you get inside this time block, you could do:   if (time>=time_a) and (time<=time_b) then ;   Cheers, Nicholas Sherlock   ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeremy Coulter To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Sent: Saturday, August 23, 2003 11:29 AM Subject: [DUG]: Comparing Times Hi All. It must be the weekend or something, but I have 2 times I need to do a comparison on. Basically I need to know this :-   Time_A=06:59:69 Time_B=16:00:00   TimeOf_event=00:05:00   Ok, now, if I go :-       If (TimeOf_event<=Time_A) and (TimeOf_event>=Time_B) then                                   DoWhatEver;   Problem IS, this needs to return TRUE because the time of the event has to be within a time frame. Infact, 16:00:00 is infact the START time of where the event must happen, and 06:59:59 is the FINISH time the event must happen before. This is rolling over a day, so the above will never return TRUE.   How can I compare the 2 times like this to get a TRUE rather than FALSE ?   I hope this is clear enough :-)     Cheers,   Jeremy Coulter     ------------------------------------------------------------------------ All email scanned with Nortons Antivirus 2003 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
