Posted: Mon Jul 22, 2019 1:02 am Post subject: Formating seconds to string format.

I try to output the time span in seconds to following:

Code:

function SecondsFormat(X)
if X <= 0 then return "" end
local date = os.date("%c", X)
local inPattern = "(%d+)/(%d+)/(%d+) (%d+):(%d+):(%d+)"
local outPattern = "%dy:%dm:%dd:%dh:%dm:%ds"
local month, day, year, hour, minute, second = date:match(inPattern)
month = month - 1
day = day - 1
year = year - 70
return string.format(outPattern, year, month, day, hour, minute, second)
end

The function above will output, string format example: 1y:2m:21d:17h:25m:11s
But, I want output as: 01:02:21:17:25:11
How to write the output pattern?

And let say I have variables:

Code:

local year, month, day, hour, minute, second = 2019, 12, 31, 23, 59, 01

Then I need to concatenate those variables so I can use os.time(os.date(*t)) from a specific date+time as store on those variables. How?

Thanks.

it seems to give you the result you want.

Code:

function SecondsFormat()
local year = tostring(os.date('%Y')) -- or %y = 19:07:22-13:49:07
local month = tostring(os.date('%m'))
local day = tostring(os.date('%d'))
local hour = tostring(os.date('%p' < '%I' or '%H'))
local minute = tostring(os.date('%M'))
local second = tostring(os.date('%S'))
print(tostring(os.date(year..':'..month..':'..day..'-'..hour..':'..minute..':'..second)))
end
SecondsFormat()
--result = 2019:07:22-13:50:30

Code:

function SecondsFormat1()
local year = tostring(os.date('%Y')) -- or %y = 19
local month = tostring(os.date('%B'))
local day = tostring(os.date('%A'))
local hour = tostring(os.date('%p' < '%I' or '%H'))
local minute = tostring(os.date('%M'))
local second = tostring(os.date('%S'))
print(tostring(os.date(year..' / '..month..' / '..day..' /-/ '..hour..':'..minute..':'..second)))
end
SecondsFormat1()

--result: 2019 / July / Monday /-/ 14:03:21

Yes, thank DB. "%2d" give 2 digit format value, but not leading zero value if the value as 1 digit. So, I use "%02.f" to output all value with 2 digits.

@Aylin : That not I want. What I want is to return seconds or seconds left to date and time format. I solved it :

Code:

local yr, mn, dy, hr, mt, sc = 2019, 12, 31, 23, 59, 01
local date_tbl = { year = yr, month = mn, day = dy, hour = hr, minute = mt, second = sc }
local targetTime = os.time( date_tbl )

print(os.date("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S", targetTime ))
-- result : Tue, 31 Dec 2019 23:00:00

print(os.date( "!%A, %d-%B-%Y %H:%M:%S" , targetTime + 1 * 60 * 60 ))
-- result : Tuesday, 31-December-2019 17:00:00

I said, %.2d, not %2d

Ah, sorry, I don't see that dot before 2d. Yes, it works properly. Thanks, DB.
