I am wondering if there is a way to convert an incoming clock data feed to seconds?

The incoming clock is in the MM:SS format and I want to just count up just in seconds so instead of 1:30 it would be 90. I have exhausted my understanding of visual logic and scripting, not even sure this is possible. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Try changing to NN:SS and that might help out.

Hi

I'm assuming you have a text box that has the incoming clock data assigned to it (widget or datalinq). Put this code in the OnSetText event.

This will change the incoming text to seconds. So if it comes in as 04:23, it will leave as 263.

dim split() as string
dim mins as integer
dim secs as integer
if text.contains(":") then
  split=text.split(":")
  integer.tryparse(split(0), mins)
  integer.tryparse(split(1), secs)
  secs+= mins * 60
else
  integer.tryparse(text, secs)
end if

text = secs.tostring

that works perfect, thank you.
