in thread Display tide based on time now.

Yes it is close, but this is how your code stands:

First tide time on 2013/03/27 - 12:21 AM - The current time has to be 12:22 AM to work.
Last tide time on 2013/03/27 - 06:39 PM - The current time can not be over that.

It only works OK if its one minute after the time of the first tide time and not over the time of the last tide time.

Thanks for trying!

    Check the updated code, if you wish. It should display something for whatever 'now' time.

      That's great, I just corrected I little thing here: 
      my @tides = ( { time_in_seconds => 0,
                highlow       => 'Unknown', # it was high_low
                time          => 'Unknown',
               } );

      But thanks for your help. I have to do more work on that to check the dates for the next available tide and avoid printing 'Unknown'. This XML has the dates for the whole year, but this pointed me in the right direction for sure!
