Hi Geoff
I hope the below will do the trick for you. I think it should handle all
your time needs and I hope the comments within the code help to explain
things OK. If not give me a shout.
include "HjConst.jsh"
String function GetTimeName(String sTime,int iSegment,String sTimeName,bool
bShowZero)
Var
int iAmount
; Turn the string into an integer for easier processing
let iAmount = StringtoInt(StringSegment (sTime, ":", iSegment))
; Is there any time here and do we need to show it?
if (iAmount == 0) && (bShowZero == false) then
return ""
endif
; If we've only got 1 then we don't want to pluralise the amount
if (iAmount == 1) then
return "1 " + sTimeName
endif
; Return the value with the time interval pluralised
return IntToString(iAmount) + " " + sTimeName + "s"
endfunction
String function StringTime(string sTime)
Var
string sresult,
string sEnd
; Make sure we have 3 segments
while (StringSegmentCount (sTime, ":") < 3)
let sTime = "00:" + sTime
endwhile
; Get the time in hours and minutes
let sResult = StringTrimTrailingBlanks
(GetTimeName(sTime,1,"hour",false)
+ " " + GetTimeName(sTime,2,"minute",false))
; Get the seconds time
let sEnd = GetTimeName(sTime,3,"second",true)
; If we've got only seconds then that's all we send back
if (sResult == "") then
return sEnd
endif
; Join the two times together with the word and
return sResult + " and " + sEnd
endfunction
Script Test ()
SayString(StringTime("01:42"))
EndScript

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.
Geoff c.
