Mighty scripters. would any kind soul feel so able/inclined today, to assist me
ever so greatly, by either perhaps providing some actual code, or pointers,
with which I might be able to process a colon delimited numeric string, into
more friendly speaking of seconds, or minutes and seconds respectively?
as in,
x seconds. or x minutes x seconds?
the timer string always has a minimum of 4 digits delimited by a colon, as in
2 digits, then colon, then another 2 digits, even when seconds only, like this:
00:40
means it's been onHold for 40 seconds etc.
It does do hours as well, as I have here on my test system, <grin,> but I
severely doubt I have to cover that, as noone's gunna hang around onn Hold in a
business for xx hours, x minutes and x seconds eh.
<smile.>
However, I'd love it also for the output to be intelligent enough not to
announce 0 minutes x seconds, when there was only 0 in the minutes column?
Would anyone feel like they could assist with this one today? or, if not time,
point me in dirrection of how I might begin to tackle the problem?
no builtins I guess to already handle this? it must be a common enough
occurrance/desire I'd have thought?
my sincerest thanks for any tips/guidance.
