4D Newbie, time question

[Jamie Byrne]

Hello,

Bit of a 4D Newbie.

Suggest my code was

Case Of
: (Form event=On Load)
va:=Current Time
End Case

How would I take the current hour, minute and seconds and place into 3 different variables? This possible?

Thanks,
Jamie!

Hi Jamie,

You can try this:

C_TIME($time_h)
C_TEXT($timestring_t;$hours;$minutes;$seconds)

$time_h:=Current time

$timestring_t:=String($time_h)
$timestring_t:=Replace string($timestring_t;":";"")

$hours:=Substring($timestring_t;1;2)
$minutes:=Substring($timestring_t;3;2)
$seconds:=Substring($timestring_t;5;2)


Kind Regards,

[Douglas Davis-2]

You would use the function:  Time String - which returns the time in the
format of HH:MM:SS

`Add this below your time command
TextTime:=Time string(va)
Hours:=num(substring(TextTime;1;2))
Minutes:= num(substring(TextTime;4;2))
Seconds:= num(substring(TextTime;7;2))

This assumes you want the numeric equivalents and not just the text.

[Tim Penner (4D, Inc)]

The example from the docs: http://www.4d.com/docs/CMU/CMU00178.HTM can be
changed slightly to do this...

  $vhNow:=Current time
   ALERT("Current hour is: "+String($vhNow\3600))
   ALERT("Current minute is: "+String(($vhNow\60)%60))
   ALERT("Current second is: "+String($vhNow%60))

Could be rewritten to be:

  $vhNow:=Current time
   $vHour := $vhNow\3600
   $vMinute := ($vhNow\60)%60
   $vSecond := ($vhNow%60)

Hope that helps,

Tim
