GetChanIdle Help

[^DooM^]

Hello again

I need Some help transforming the idle minutes stored by getchanidle to "months weeks days hours minutes seconds". rather than having it bring back something silly like 10324 minutes idle

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again

There's a command called 'duration' in eggdrop (check doc/tcl-commands.doc)

I did read that but it converts from seconds rather than minutes and i dont know how to convert minutes to seconds either.

i dont know how to convert minutes to seconds either.

ok, here comes the math teacher again...

1 minute = 60 secs
1 sec = 1/60 min

so what makes 5 minutes in seconds ? -> 5 * 60

and if you want to do it with the "clock format" function you may have a look at the docs or see http://forum.egghelp.org/viewtopic.php?t=5499 for an example

lol i know how many seconds are in a minute What i meant was i dont know how in code to transform 1 minute into seconds

i'm sorry if i dont really get what you mean...

Code: Select all

proc makesec { mins } {
return [expr $mins *60]
}

is this what you ment ? the TCL code for this mathematic idea ? *confused*

That is what i wanted to know thanks. Can i use -format "%m %w %d %H %M %S" with "expr" ?

Sorry if you dont understand me im still a n00b at scripting really.

Thanks again

-format "%m %w %d %H %M %S" with "expr" ?

this -format is a parameter of the clock format command

Code: Select all

This would be the current date + time:
[clock format [clock seconds] -format "%m %w %d %H %M %S"]

This would be the current date + time + 8 minutes
[clock format [expr [clock seconds] + 8 * 60] -format "%m %w %d %H %M %S"]

Ill give it a try and get back to you. Thanks again
