Time of Day Prompt

A time of day prompt contains multiple prompts each qualified with a particular time of the day. When queued up for playback, a time of day prompt evaluates the current time of the day and queues up a single prompt from its list. The prompt selected is based on a time range starting at the time specified until the time specified by the subsequent prompt in time or until the end of the day if this is the last prompt.

The order of the operands is not important in determining the beginning or end of a range. The expression parser puts them back in the proper chronological order based on the specified time of day used when qualifying each one of the prompt operands.

For example, the prompt expression:

P[P2] @ T[11:58 PM] || P[P1] @ T[10:59 AM] || P[] @ T[1:00 PM]

means that from the beginning of the day until 10:58:59 AM nothing is played back, from 10:59:00 AM until 12:59:59 PM, P[P1]is played back, from 1:00:00 PM until 11:57:59 PM, nothing is played back, and from 11:58:00 PM until the end of the day, P[P2] is played back.
