I try to make logic with short time to execute some commands if time is higher then 19:00 but can't make it right.

So what i do.. If NOT (A)<(B),  A is {ShortTime} and B is 19:00 then "do my command"

I try with LastResult and always get message in VC "Can't evaluate. Not a number".

Know is the simple thing but i get confused  :o

Unfortunately, the time variables are not interpreted as numbers because of the : in the middle, so you can't directly use < / > logic on them. One option is to use regex.

         <param>The time is later than 19:00.</param>

   <else>
     <action>
       <cmdType>OSD.ShowText</cmdType>
       <params>
         <param>It is still too early.</param>
       </params>
       <cmdRepeat>1</cmdRepeat>
     </action>
   </else>
 </if>
</command>

Another option would be to use Python.

The third option is to use a custom time variable rather than {ShortTime} (http://voxcommando.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Variables).

         <param>The time is later than 19:30.</param>

TNX nime5ter, using first option and it's work great!

For what it's worth I think the third option makes the most sense.
