PLAESE HELP

Displays the current time's seconds value:

echo %time:~6,2%

so...

set tsec=%time:~6,2%

[dakota]

so then why is this not working
 :-? :-? :-?

Code: [Select]

@echo off
echo Done!!!
set timed=%time:~6,2%
set tsec=%timed% + "5"
:loop
IF %time:~6,2% EQU %tsec% (
goto :end
) ELSE (
goto :loop
)
:end

[CameronY]

try ...

@echo off
echo Done!!!
sleep 5

What you were trying to do had little point and would have chewed CPU cycles for no reason.

And, the statement ...

set tsec=%timed% + "5"

should have read ...

set /a tsec=%timed% + 5

Can only suggest that you read up more on the set command (set /?) and on some basic programming constructs.

Hope that helps.
