Example showing how to use NSCalender, NSTimer and NSRunLoop class
The ASObjC script will setup date components for year, month, day, hour and minute.
Next using the NSTimer in NSRunLoop to perform action.
The code use 3 handlers include example.
Set the YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM and save it as Applet.
Reference ChatGPT:
make an example in objective-c to execute action for specific date by year, month, day
use framework "Foundation"
use scripting additions
set timeInterval to createCalendarWithComponents(2023, 7, 26, 16, 33) --> YYYY:MM:DD:HH:MM
set timerRunLoop to createTimerRunLoop(timeInterval, "performAction:")
on createTimerRunLoop(timeInterval, selector)
if (timeInterval > 0) then
set theTimer to current application's NSTimer's timerWithTimeInterval:timeInterval ¬
target:me selector:selector userInfo:(missing value) repeats:false
(current application's NSRunLoop's currentRunLoop())'s addTimer:theTimer ¬
forMode:(current application's NSDefaultRunLoopMode)
(current application's NSRunLoop's currentRunLoop())'s ¬
runUntilDate:(current application's NSDate's dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:timeInterval)
else
display dialog "The target date is in the past."
end if
end createTimerRunLoop
on performAction:sender
display dialog ((current date) as string) & return & return & " Action performed at the specified date and time!"
end performAction:
on createCalendarWithComponents(yyyy, mm, dd, hh, theMinute)
set theCalendar to current application's NSCalendar's currentCalendar()
set dateComponents to current application's NSDateComponents's alloc()'s init()
dateComponents's setYear:yyyy
dateComponents's setMonth:mm
dateComponents's setDay:dd
dateComponents's setHour:hh
dateComponents's setMinute:theMinute
set targetDate to theCalendar's dateFromComponents:dateComponents
set timeInterval to targetDate's timeIntervalSinceNow()
return timeInterval
end createCalendarWithComponents
