Hi
It would be much easier for you (given the use you wish to make for your
code) to use the GetTickCount() function as previously mentioned by another
contributor to the list.
Thus when the student starts, you store the GetTickCount() integer value at
that point in a global variable and then when they complete the test you
subtract that globally held value from the current GetTickCount(). This
will give you the number of milliseconds they've taken for the test. It's
then a simple matter of arithmetic to convert this to hours, minutes and
seconds.
Hope this is clear.
Thanks

Hi Gordon
I didn't find any more way to do my script with your function. I think i
should tell you some details about my script because may be I don't
understand your functions clearly.
1. I create an input box for students to fiel out their name, their class
and the amount of time (minute) to perform a test
2. Students should be given a hotkey to start their test. The script will
perform a schedule function according to their amount of time. When they're
out of time, the keyboard lock automatically
3. whenever students finished their test, they use a hotkey to lock their
keyboard. And i would like to calculate the time from their start time to
that point.
I did very well two steps, and now, if you have free time, please show me
how to do the lat step. I think your function can do it but don't know how
to use
Thanks so much.

Hi
Here's a few functions I use to calculate how long until a particular
time
is reached from the current time. Hope it's what you're looking for and
I'm sure you can amend it for your own needs.
int function SecondsSinceMidnight(string sText)
; Determine how many seconds have elapsed since midnight
var
int h
let sText = stringStripAllBlanks (sText)
; Get the hours and multiply them by 3600 ( 60 x 60)
let h = StringtoInt(StringSegment (sText, ":", 1)) * 3600
; Now add on the minutes
let h = h + StringtoInt(StringSegment (sText, ":", 2)) * 60
; and finally the seconds
let h = h + StringtoInt(StringSegment (sText, ":", 3))
return h
endfunction
int function SecondsToTarget(string sText)
; How long is it now until the target in seconds
var
int h
; Turn the current time into a time since midnight and remove that
from the input time
let h = SecondsSinceMidnight(sText) - SecondsSinceMidnight(SysGetTime
("HH:mm:ss"))
if (h < 0)
let h = 24 * 3600 + h
endif
return h
endfunction
string function GetTimeWords(int h,string sUnits)
; Show a time in words pluralising where appropriate.
var
string s
if (h == 0)
return ""
endif
let s = IntToString(h) + " " + sUnits
if (h > 1)
let s = s + "s"
endif
return s + " "
endfunction
string function TimeToTarget(string sTarget)
; How long to go until the target time is reached
; sTarget is in the form hh:mm:ss
Var
int h,
int m,
int s,
string sMsg
; Break the time down to hours, minutes and seconds
let h = SecondsToTarget(sTarget)
; Get the seconds off
let s = h % 60
; Now throw away the seconds
let h = h / 60
; Get the minutes
let m = h % 60
; Now throw away the minutes and leave the hours
let h = h / 60
; Now put this into words
let sMsg = StringTrimTrailingBlanks (GetTimeWords(h,"hour") +
GetTimeWords(m,"minute"))
if (sMsg != "") && (s > 0)
let sMsg = sMsg + " and "
endif
let sMsg = StringTrimTrailingBlanks(sMsg + GetTimeWords(s,"second"))
return sMsg
endfunction
Any questions please give me a shout.
