Compare time values!

RouterOS Scripting
1

When I want to compare two time values like this:

:if ([/system clock get time] < 15:00:00) do={:put true} else={:put false}

I’m getting following error:

cannot compare if string is less than time interval

Somethimes I’m getting afore mentioned message, somethimes it goes as ‘false’ no matter what time is it!
Am I doing something wrong?!

Try this:

:if ([/system clock get time] < [:totime "15:00:00"]) do={:put true} else={:put false}

It doesn’t work, I’m getting the same message but this…

:if ([:totime [/system clock get time]] < 15:00:00) do={:put true} else={:put false}

…WORKS!

Thanks! :wink:

Weird, both work for me, as does your original (copy and paste, for both true and false).

Perhaps the version you are using returns something different for “/sys clock get time”? :confused:
