time

time ( timeString : string ) : time
time ( timeValue : integer ) : time

ParameterTypeDescription
timeStringstring->String to return as a time
timeValueinteger->Number to return as a time
Resulttime<-Time specified by timeString or timeValue

Description

The time command returns a time expression equivalent to the time specified in the timeString or timeValue parameter.

Pass in the timeString parameter a string containing a time expressed in one of the standard time formats (for more information, refer to the description of the string command).

Or, you can pass in the timeValue parameter a number that represents the number of seconds elapsed since 00:00:00.

note

If the timeString or timeValue parameter evaluates to undefined, time returns an empty time (00:00:00). This is useful when you expect the result of an expression (e.g. an object attribute) to be a time, even if it can be undefined.

Example

You can express any numerical value as a time:

 var vTime : time
vTime = time(10000)
//vTime is 02:46:40
vTime2 = time((60*60)+(20*60)+5200)
//vTime2 is 02:46:40
