converting Date and time to seconds

[tasdvl9]

Hello,

I've been searching quite a bit and haven't been able to figure out the 'livecode' way to convert this string to seconds..
1/1/08 3:06 AM

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Take a look at "convert" in the dictionary.

Thanks for the response.

I tried using something like this:
convert tNewDateTo from date and long time to seconds

To no avail.

Converting the date is easy. But suppose you want to do a compare on not only the date but the time as well?
I thought perhaps you could convert both the date to seconds and then the time to seconds and add both but that was uneventful
as well.

hmmm
This is from the dictionary examples

convert the date && the time to seconds

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   put "1/1/08 3:06 AM" into theTime
   convert theTime to seconds
   put theTime
end mouseUp

Thanks, Guys!

My syntax was incorrect thus causing my issue.

I appreciate all of the responses
