set_timer_at/4—set a timer on an event object that will expire at a specified time represented by a text string

Note

This primitive cannot be used in refine, filter, regulate, or propagate rules.

The syntax for set_timer_at/4 is as follows:

set_timer_at($OBJECT,$STR,$FORMAT,$INFO)

set_timer_at/4 arguments

Argument	Mode	Type	Description
$OBJECT	Input	OBJECT	Specifies the event object
$STR	Input	STRING	Specifies the time stamp in textual representation at which the timer will expire
$FORMAT	Input	STRING	Specifies the format for the time stamp $STR
$INFO	Input	STRING	Specifies the information item as timer_info

Use the set_timer_at/4 to set a timer on event $OBJECT that will expire at time stamp with textual representation $STR in format $FORMAT, and to trigger a timer rule with timer information matching $INFO.

The value of $INFO will be substituted for the timer_info in matching timer rules when the timer expires.

This is the same as:

set_timer_at($OBJ,str_to_time_stamp($STR,$FORMAT),$INFO)
