Ric - thanks for this.
If I may make a suggestion, in my own "TSDiff", I find it handy to return
the time difference in seconds as well as in the full time-stamp form as
this latter one has unavoidable ambiguity (as months and years are of
variable length).
For instance,
2010 10 21 10 50 25.741 TSDiff 2010 10 21 9 0 0 NB. How long I've been
at work
+--------+--------------------+
|6625.741|0 0 0 1 50 25.740997| NB. 6625 s = 1h 50m 25s
+--------+--------------------+
I don't think I've ever actually used the 1{result in practice. For what I
do, I'm usually interested in the number of seconds. Perhaps a more
succinct alternative, maybe "tsDiffS", would return only seconds.
Regards,
Devon
