Forums Scripts & Popups Time till %var is unset

is there an identifier or something that will tell ya how long it will be till a %var that has been set with /set -u3200 is unset? if there aint one, is there a workaround or something?

There is no method, that I know of, to get the time until a variable expires.

You might try this work-around however.

set -u3200 %MyVar DATA
set -z %MyVar.time 3200

The variable %MyVar will contain DATA and expire in 3200 seconds, while the variable %MyVar.time will decrement every second until it reaches 0 and expires. Ergo, %MyVar.time will equal the time until %MyVar expires.
