Tic tac, tic tac........ but less two tic? (='.'=)

[Mariasole]

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!

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

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

In a world where we are all sisters and brothers, he is a third degree uncle

OK, I get it, sister!

@Klaus.

Sister? Or rather niece?

[Klaus]

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

... In a world where we are all sisters and brothers ...

Oh I see, you won't be an uncle ...

Exactly, that's Bob already!
