I call it sqltime because it has to be formatted as hh:mm:ss. function formatTime theTime, theFormat /* accepts any valid time and returns the form of the time specified in the second parameter. The valid formats are: sql time: hh:mm:ss (Note: combining sql date from the formatDate() function with the sql time will produce a valid SQL date time type). short time: LC short time format abbreviated time: LC abbr time format (same as short time) long time: LC long time format seconds: the number of seconds since the prior midnight military: the military time 00:00 - 23:59 */ if theTime is empty then return empty set the numberformat to "00" switch theFormat case "sql time" convert theTime to dateitems put (item 4 of theTime +0) & ":" & \ (item 5 of theTime +0) & ":" & \ (item 6 of theTime +0) into theTime break case "short time" convert theTime to short time break case "abbreviated time" convert theTime to abbreviated time break case "long time" convert theTime to long time break case "seconds" convert theTime to seconds break case "military" set the itemdelimiter to ":" if theTime contains "PM" then add 12 to item 1 of theTime end if put word 1 of item 2 of theTime into item 2 of theTime break end switch return theTime end formatTime > On Oct 16, 2019, at 17:23 , Bill Vlahos via use-livecode > wrote: > > I’m writing a countdown timer application and want to display the remaining > time not as the number of seconds but in the format of HR:MIN:SEC left. > > For example 75 seconds would display as “0:1:15”. > 130 seconds would display as “0:2:10”. > > I know how to do the math to figure it out but I’m wondering if there is a > built in function to do this. > > Convert wants to deal with actual time so I would get something like “0:1:15 > PM”. > > Thanks, > Bill Vlahos > ___ > use-livecode mailing list > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription > preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: Is there a command to display number of seconds as hrs:min:seconds?
Save a lot of lines by using "format":
on countdown t
put format("%02d:%02d:%02d",t div 3600,(t mod 3600) div 60,t mod 60) into fld
1
subtract 1 from t
if t < 0 then exit countDown
send "countdown t" to me in (1000-the millisecs mod 1000) millisecs
end countdown

That needs the same energy as the simple math method but as you ask: 1. set the twelvehourtime to false 2. compute what you get when converting t=0 to long time (=diff) 3. subtract diff from your start time 4. repeat converting your seconds value to long time ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: Is there a command to display number of seconds as hrs:min:seconds?
Not built-in but... function formatRemainingTime pTime put trunc(pTime/3600) into tHours put pTime mod 3600 into tTimeX put trunc(tTimeX/60) into tMins put tTimeX mod 60 into tSecs if tHours < 10 then put "0" before tHours if tMins < 10 then put "0" before tMins if tSecs < 10 then put "0" before tSecs return tHours&":"&":" end formatRemainingTime On 17/10/19, 11:24 am, "use-livecode on behalf of Bill Vlahos via use-livecode" wrote: I’m writing a countdown timer application and want to display the remaining time not as the number of seconds but in the format of HR:MIN:SEC left. For example 75 seconds would display as “0:1:15”. 130 seconds would display as “0:2:10”. I know how to do the math to figure it out but I’m wondering if there is a built in function to do this. Convert wants to deal with actual time so I would get something like “0:1:15 PM”.

Is there a command to display number of seconds as hrs:min:seconds?
I’m writing a countdown timer application and want to display the remaining time not as the number of seconds but in the format of HR:MIN:SEC left. For example 75 seconds would display as “0:1:15”. 130 seconds would display as “0:2:10”. I know how to do the math to figure it out but I’m wondering if there is a built in function to do this. Convert wants to deal with actual time so I would get something like “0:1:15 PM”.
