I have a Time/Date Action set with Condition set to "If variable DayofWeek" is "not equal to:" "wed". The variable DayofWeek shows "wed" in the Variable List. However, this action fires regardless. Am I being stupid (again)?

Not sure exactly. I just tried it and it seems to work okay on my setup. Note that pressing the "Execute Actions" button in the main window *always* executes the actions regardless of the conditions defined. If that isn't it, then could it be a space or something in the condition panel edit field, or in the variable value?

Regards,
Matt

Matt -

Hmmm... I know about the "Execute Actions" thing - and I've been triggering this in the old school manner.

Ah! Turns out there _is_ an extra space in the variable - it's "wed " - extra space at the end. This is curious - it must be my misunderstanding of Applescript coding again. I am populating the DayofWeek variable using this embedded Applescript:

Code: Select all

tell application "IndigoServer"
    set value of variable "DayofWeek" to weekday of (current date)
end tell

That seems to set the variable to "wed ". I'll have to come up with a workaround...

Update:

This code solved it:

Code: Select all

tell application "IndigoServer"
    set value of variable "DayofWeek" to weekday of (current date) as string
end tell

That puts "Wednesday" in the variable. Done.
