Awesome, this should help Josh out with his project too.

Made a few mods so this can be called over and over again without getting confused

:Initialise $hour_word=$hour say("The time is " )

IF ($hour>12) $hour_word=$hour-12 Elseif ($hour="0" ) $hour_word=12 ENDIF

$hour_word+":"

IF ($Minute = 0) Say ("$hour" ) goto (AM_PM) ELSEIF ($minute <10) Say ("$minute minutes past $hour_word" ) ELSE say("$hour_word $minute" ) goto(AM_PM) ENDIF halt()

:AM_PM IF ($hour<12) say ("a.m." ) ELSE say ("p.m." ) ENDIF

halt()

Much appreciated Tameion for all your scripts! They are great as is and also for modify/adapting/learning to unique circumstances!

i think i'll use this as a wake up alarm for my robot! thank you for sharing.

not to mention its beeroclock time!

@Tameion

When trying to run this script I get a error here?

$hour_word+":"

What am I doing wrong?

Herr

Try

say("The time is " )

IF ($hour>12)
  $hour_word=$hour-12
ELSE
  $hour_word=$hour
ENDIF

IF ($hour_word=0)
  $hour_word=12
ENDIF

IF ($Minute = 0)
  Say ("$hour_word" )
ELSEIF ($minute <10)
  Say ("$minute minutes past $hour_word" )
ELSE
  say("$hour_word $minute" )
ENDIF

IF ($hour<12)
  say ("a.m." )
ELSE
  say ("p.m." )
ENDIF

Removed some redundant code and fixed a couple of errors. To be honest I'm not sure what the $hour_word+":" was for, it didn't look like it was needed.

Hope you don't mind my doing that @tameion

@Rich

Sorry but recieved an error too.

Syntax Error on line 12. This command requires 0 parameters. You passed one parameters.

I believe line 12 here is

Else say("$hour_word $minute")

That should be on 2 lines. Else Say("$hour_word $minute")

@Rich

Works

Thanks for the help, very grateful I think it's about time I try my hand at a little scripting. I took a couple of programming classes MANY years back so we will see just how much a old man can remember ... lol

Your a good asset to our community, hope you keep up the good work!

@Rich & @ Herr Ball

Hi Guys

Apologies @Herr Ball for the error in the script and thanks @Rich for the modifications.

@Rich - The $hour_word+":" was purely cosmetic and designed to make the printout in the script window look correct. If I remember it worked fine in the version of ARC at the time so I am going to blame the error on @DJSures for upgrading the code. (NOT! - LOL)

I smacked my own hand for this one - If we post we have an obligation to make sure our scripts work.... and I guess that extends to making sure they work in later updated versions of the code.

Fortunately we have a pritty good forum and awesome people like yourself willing to contribute, correct and educate.

Myself I do what I can but life is pritty full on and unless I make time I ain't got time - that's why I need robots and A.I.'s to do 'stuff' for me.....
