possible "wait until DATE and time" commend?

Post by ted_barnes »

Is there any way I can add a date like "2024-01-31" or "31 Jan 2024" or whatever) to a wait until command like

WAIT UNTIL LOCALTIME "1:00:00 AM"

in a Sequence program?

Hi,

no, there's no wait until a later date. If you just want to wait until tomorrow then you could wait until 00:01 then wait until the later time you want.

For longer waits, you could consider leaving SharpCap closed and then setting it up to run automatically using the Windows Task Scheduler (you can use the /runsequence command line option to run a sequence on startup). The sequence can take care of the fine detail of the exact time to wait for, the task scheduler could wait for some days and then run SharpCap a few minutes before it is really needed.

cheers,

Robin
