Get bot to pause after certain date?

[turbolapp 5]

I thought I could use the date constant and just set a variable that if today's date is greater than whatever date I could command the bot to pause...but it's not working.

 

Is this even possible? and if so what am I doing wrong? (attaching bot)

The problem with what you're trying to is that ubot currently treats the date as a string object, so when you're comparing the dates, you're just comparing strings. You could use this to compare equality, but you won't be able to see if its less or greater than.

 

Luckily, javascript's Date() object supports comparison

 

Here's a snippet that should work:

Wow. I would have never come up with that. Thanks, I'll give that a try.

 

edit: worked perfectly, of course! Thanks again Jim.

Hey,

 

I have date in format "DD.MM.YYYY" and I cant find the easy way to do this job. Can you please give me a tip? I also have problem inserting variable instead of "12/20/2009". I need to check if scraped date already past or not...

 

Thanks for helping.
