I would +1 a deltaTime format, but we might not agree on hours over 24 and fractions of a second. > On Oct 17, 2019, at 10:25 PM, Bill Vlahos via use-livecode > wrote: > > All great suggestions. > > I mostly wanted to see if there already was such a function - which there > obviously isn’t.

Re: Is there a command to display number of seconds as hrs:min:seconds?

All great suggestions. I mostly wanted to see if there already was such a function - which there obviously isn’t. But it is great to see several easy ways to built your own. Thanks all. Bill Vlahos > On Oct 17, 2019, at 8:51 AM, Bob Sneidar via use-livecode > wrote: > > The problem with

Save a lot of lines by using "format": on countdown t put format("%02d:%02d:%02d",t div 3600,(t mod 3600) div 60,t mod 60) into fld 1 subtract 1 from t if t < 0 then exit countDown send "countdown t" to me in (1000-the millisecs mod 1000) millisecs end countdown > > Terry J. wrote: > >
