#162042 - 2006-05-18 06:03 PM Comparing Two times (HH:mm:ss)
Pants Pants Lurker Registered: 2006-05-18 Posts: 2	Is there a way to compare two times (HH:mm:ss) and if a difference of X do Y or ELSE do Z. Why I want this: I want to send an email when a particular alert occurs, however, I only want to send this email if two alerts happen within specified time frame, i.e. 30 seconds. I was thinking of writing the two times into an INI file and then reading the values but I can't figure out how to compare these times and return a value which I can then say is greater than or less than the specified value. Hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance

I prefer to convert everything to CTime and work with that. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

I thought it was too obvious to have to mention it but one should never assume... It was also not mentioned whether the time is represented in a 24 hour format. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.
