now.tolongtimestring.tostring

[Greg Chu]

Hi,

I used the above and I got

"4:08:16 PM"

but I need

"16:08:16"

Has anyone done this before?

Please help! Thanks!

Greg

Please don't multipost...

One way to do it, albeit maybe not the best...

if now.tolongtimestring.substring(instrrev(now.tolongtimestring, " "))
= "PM" then
now.date.addhours(12)
end if

Greg,

When you really need it like this, you can use the ToString for setting the
format.

What you want is what I assume
16 hour, 8 minutes, 16 seconds what is used in the my and I think more EU
and other cultures as a kind of standard format for the non analoge clock.
In the USA this is called "military format".

When it is not your standard culture setting, than you can try.

dim mydate as string = Now.toString(HH:mm:ss)

I hope this helps?
