is there a way to compare time values in scripts.

Say is the current time greater than 17:00:00.

I tried this.

:if ([/system clock get time] > "17:00:00") do={}

but is always returns false.

Thanks for any help.

Try this one (routerOS v 2.9):

Code: Select all

:set hours [:tonum [:pick[/system clock get time]0 2]]
:set min   [:tonum [:pick[/system clock get time]3 5]]
:set sec   [:tonum [:pick[/system clock get time]6 8]] 
:set a ($hours*3600 + $min*60 + $sec)
:set b 61200  
:if ($a>=$b) do={}
:if ($a<$b) do={}

where 61200 is time in seconds (17:00:00). Maybe not the shortest way but atleast works for me
