Cron expression for one day occurs every hour

I need cron expression which allows to me run scheduler by the following rules:

Starts 12:00 am on Friday (pacific time) 
ends 12:00 am on Saturday (pacific time)
And between these two dates it must occurs every hour

i can write something like "0 0 12/1 ? * FRI-SAT" but ofcourse it is not correct. How to set simple range from 12-00 FRI to 12-00 SAT?

Try this expression

0 0 12-23,00-12 ? * FRI,SAT

and you can verify the next scheduled time here at http://www.cronmaker.com/ by entering this expression.

If a cron expression is not easily discernible you can always build your own trigger.

I'm thinking something like this may help:

    var jobDetail;

    var days = new DayOfWeek[] {DayOfWeek.Friday, DayOfWeek.Saturday};

    var trigger = TriggerBuilder.Create()
        .ForJob(jobDetail)
        .WithDailyTimeIntervalSchedule(x => x.WithIntervalInHours(1)
        .OnDaysOfTheWeek(days)
        .StartingDailyAt(TimeOfDay.HourAndMinuteOfDay(0, 0)));

I'm guessing that you will probably need to set up two triggers, one that starts at 12:00 pm Friday and ends at midnight and triggers every hour and one for Saturday starting at 00:00 am and ends at 12:00 pm. So something like this

0 0 12-23 ? * FRI
0 0 0-12 ? * SAT

Also have a look at Cron Maker as it will generate the cron expression for you. and also show when it will trigger.
