Function: Convert seconds into minutes/seconds formatted for display, i.e. "2:30"

[Corey]

Simply insert this function into your project then call it as you would any normal function, example below:

function sec2Min(secs)
	
	if secs > 59 then

		myMinutes = Math.Floor(secs/60);
		mySeconds = secs-(Math.Floor(secs/60)*60);
		
			if mySeconds < 10 then
				mySeconds = "0"..mySeconds;
			end
		
		myTime = myMinutes..":"..mySeconds;

	else
	
			if secs < 10 then
				mySeconds = "0"..secs;
			end
	
		myTime = "0:"..mySeconds;

	end
        
	return myTime;
	
end

Example call to convert 75 seconds into formatted "m:s" time:

result = sec2Min(75);
Dialog.Message("Time:", result);

You can also use the string.format function which is part of lua to zero fill a variable.

mySeconds = string.format("%2f", secs-(Math.Floor(secs/60)*60);t);

I'm going to use this instead of my code I have been using.

Right on 'Tigg!

Yep. To quote the late great Ed Whalen from Stampede Wrestling, "That's a ring-a-ding-dong dandy".

ditto , tks Tigg

(and for yours Mr Corey)

I didn't test the code above but here is a funciton that will convert seconds to HH:MM:SS.

function SecondsToClock(sSeconds)
	local nSeconds = String.ToNumber(sSeconds)
	if nSeconds == 0 then
		--return nil;
		return "00:00:00";
	else
		nHours = string.format("%02.f", Math.Floor(nSeconds/3600));
		nMins = string.format("%02.f", Math.Floor(nSeconds/60 - (nHours*60)));
		nSecs = string.format("%02.f", Math.Floor(nSeconds - nHours*3600 - nMins *60));
		return nHours..":"..nMins..":"..nSecs
	end
end

	end
end

Thanks 'Tig, little late maybe, but it saves me from coding such.

don't forget DateDiff does this too

Ah, ha Ah, ha ha.

I have a need to get a number in milliseconds and convert it to 'HH:MM:SS.t' where 't' is rounded to tenths of a second.

Can this function be used to do that?

[TJ_Tigger]

should be able to. Just need to adjust the math so it calculates from miliseconds rather than seconds

function MilliSecondsToClock(sMilliSeconds)
	local nMilliSeconds = String.ToNumber(sMilliSeconds)
	if nMilliSeconds == 0 then
		--return nil;
		return "00:00:00";
	else
		nHours = string.format("%02.f", Math.Floor(nMilliSeconds/3600000));
		nMins = string.format("%02.f", Math.Floor(nMilliSeconds/60000 - (nHours*60000)));
		nSecs = string.format("%02.f", Math.Floor(nMilliSeconds/1000 - nHours*3600000 - nMins *60000));
		nMilliSecs = Math.Round(nMilliseconds - (nHours*3600000) - (nMins *60000) - (nSecs *1000))
		return nHours..":"..nMins..":"..nSecs.."."..nMilliSecs
	end
end

Or something close to that anyway.
