Hi All,
I have looked at the discussions about totalseconds, but have this
question. I wish to capture the totalseconds of a date AND time so
that I can differentiate between 08:00 am and 09:00 am (for
example) on the same date.
Parsedate, as far as I can tell, will only parse a string with a
date, but no time. It is easy to add in those extra seconds for the
correct totalseconds, but is this the way to do it, or is there a
function that will do it for one.
You basically have to create your own code to parse the time as the
ParseDate Function will only return a value of 0 hours, 0 minutes and
0 seconds for that date.
I also found it easier to parse everything myself to avoid the
differences in the International settings that the user may have on
their computer.
There are no built-in routines to do this in Rb but it also isn't all
that hard to do it yourself.
