how do i get the time in seconds?

Sorry, I've made a couple of miscalculations... It's too early in the morning. I realized it after I tried making an example code and ended up with 1,000,000 seconds...

Firstly, calculate the hour with: $calc($time(H) * 60 * 60)
Then calculate the minutes with: $calc($time(nn) * 60)
Then finally add it all together: $calc(%hrs + %mins + $time(ss))

This should return the right time now.

my progress bar is full...its 6:25pm...

text "1 0 86400", 18, 388 64 85 20

alias sitime {
if (%si.time == 1) {
if ($dialog(si)) {
set %si.time.now $calc(($time(Hnn) * 60) * 60)
//did -ra si 18 %si.time.now
}
}
else { .timersitime off }
}

Yeah, I thought that would happen, my mistake.

what about if i use minutes?

Seconds would be more accurate, but, it's your choice.

ok i think if i went by hours it would be easyer...so i set my dialog for 1 - 24 how can i get the hour that it is now?

$calc(($time(H) * 60 ) + $time(n))

Yeah, hours would be a lot easier because you'd only have to return $time(H), although, how would you display the time when it's 13:52? Even though it is almost 2pm, it would still display it as 1pm because that's what the hours read.

thanks
