Hello everyone!
I have a stupid question
, but it's
days I try and I can not find a solution
.
In the end I decided to ask for help from experts! Gentlemen, of course!
I'm trying to do simple timetable operations, not dependent on fully dates. Only timetables. Simple stuff (in natural language!).
Example:
What time is the 6:30 less than a minute? -----> 6:29
And the 23 and 58 less a minute? -------> 23:57
And the 23 and 59 plus two minutes? ------> 00:01
And the 18:35 plus 37 minutes? --------> ??? I need LC function!!!
I tried to use DateFormat function, but I do not understand the method without using a specific day.
I know someone is now laughing !!!! Let me also laugh at me!
Thanks to all those who want to give me a hand!
Mariasole

Hola Maria,
OK, here is mine
- hand.jpg (30.81 KiB) Viewed 7069 times
Try this:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
## I'm german so to avoid english time with AM/PM I do:
set the usesystemdate to TRUE
put "18:35" into tTime
convert tTime to seconds
add 37*60 to tTime
convert tTime to short time
put tTime ## -> 19:12
end mouseUp
Best
Klaus

This is the function you need:
########CODE to copy and paste#######
on mouseUp
put libdate_addminutes("18:35",37)
end mouseUp
function libdate_addminutes pTime, pMinutes
#pTime format = "13:15" or 13:15:59"
#pminutes is a integer positive or negative
set itemdel to ":"
put item 1 of ptime into tOre
put item 2 of ptime into tMinuti
put item 3 of ptime into tSecondi
put tMinuti + pMinutes into tMinuti
if pMinutes > 0 then
put tOre + floor(tMinuti / 60) into tOre
else
put tOre - floor(tMinuti / 60) into tOre
end if
puttMinuti mod 60 into tMinuti
put tOre mod 24 into tOre
if the number of chars of tMinuti is 1 then put 0 before tMinuti
if the number of chars of tOre is 1 then put 0 before tOre
if tSecondi is empty then
return (tOre & ":" & tMinuti )
else
return (tOre & ":" & tMinuti & ":" & tSecondi )
end if
end libdate_addminutes

@Klaus.
Sister? Or rather niece?

"Sister", Herman, since I was referring to Marias last posting:
