I want to make a time recorder. What I know is not enough.
I want to make a script that will open up a MsgBox
upon pressing Ctrl+Alt+PgDn, asking to record the time. If I click Yes, I get
another MsgBox
saying the time is recorded. After I close the MsgBox
, the current time will recorded as a variable. Upon pressing Ctrl+Alt+Enter, a MsgBox
would pop up, showing the last recorded time (the one which was stored in the variable).
Current code:‐
<!<^PgDn::
MsgBox, 4,Record time,Do you want to record the time?
If MsgBox Yes{
timestamp := %A Hour% ;below, the error is written about this line
timestamp2 := %A Min%
MsgBox time recorded.
}
else{}
return
<^<!enter::MsgBox time: %timestamp%:%timestamp2%
With this code, there is a strange error saying:‐
❝ %A:This parameter has a variable missing its ending percent sign. ❞
How do I fix this problem? Any answers? Thanks.
Edit:- Yeah, I was a bad asker back in the days. I had no idea that the variable was not
%A Hour%
or%A Min%
but instead%A_Hour%
and%A_Min%
. Plus, no research effort was given. Really sorry.
PS this post is from theAHKv1
days. So, not new information.
Variable names in an expression are not enclosed in percent signs.
A_Hour and A_Min are Built-in Variables
<!<^PgDn::
MsgBox, 4,Record time,Do you want to record the time?
IfMsgBox Yes ; not "If MsgBox Yes"
{
timestamp := A_Hour ; expression
timestamp2 := A_Min
MsgBox time recorded.
}
; else{
; do sth else
; }
return
<^<!enter:: MsgBox, time: %timestamp%:%timestamp2% ; this is a command (no expression)
