I created one start to log a "start time" and save into a plist file, and a an other script to read the start time and calculate the number of time elapsed from the start time and now (reading time)
first script (log time in plist) :
set myDate to date string of (current date)
set [dayLetter, dayNumber, MonthLetter, yearNumber] to the words of myDate
set t to (time string of (current date))
set [hoursInNumber, minutesInNumber, secondInNumber] to the words of t
set startTimeValue to (current date)
set startTimeClear to dayLetter & " " & dayNumber & " " & MonthLetter & " at " & hoursInNumber & ":" & minutesInNumber
set plistR to {startTime:startTimeValue, startTimeClear:startTimeClear}
tell application "System Events"
set plistf to make new property list file ¬
with properties {name:"~/Desktop/myTime.plist"}
set plistf's value to plistR
end tell
second script (read plist)
set NowTimeValue to (current date)
set the plistfile_path to "~/Desktop/myTime.plist"
tell application "System Events"
set p_list to property list file (plistfile_path)
-- read the plist data
set startTimeValue to value of property list item "startTime" of p_list
end tell
set Elapsed to startTimeValue - NowTimeValue
the main issue is, the time given is in second, and if I try yo divid by 60 that give me an hour.
how can I get this time in minutes / hours instead?
