Time

I need to convert the string below into epoch seconds so that I can
perform substractions and additions. I assume I will need to break it
up into a time_t struct and use mktime. Two questions if you will
please:

Is there a way to use multiple separator characters for split similar
to awk's [|] style?

Could you point to an example of a python time_t struct?

Thanks,

Do you mean 12 Noon or 12 Midnight? 12AM and 12PM don't exist,
do they?

No. Even ignoring that exact instant at Noon or Midnight, 12:01 PM
translates into itself, 12:01, on a 24 hr clock; and 12:01 AM becomes 0:01
on a 24 hr clock. For hours between 01 PM and 11 PM, yes, you can follow
the rule "add 12".

>>t = (2007, 5, 14, 12, 0,0,0,0,0)
strftime('%p' , t)

am I doing this wrong: print (time.time() / 60) / 60 #time.time has been running for many hours if time.time() was (21600/60) then that would equal 360/60 which would be 6, but I'm not getting 6 so I'm not doing the division right, any tips?

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I wasn't able to find it. First off I know u can't change a tuple but if I wanted to increment a time tuple by one day what is the standard method to do that? I've tried the obvious things and haven't gotten very far. I have a time tuple that was created like this: aDate = '19920228' x = time.strptime(aDate,"%Y%m%d")

Today’s question involves two time text boxes each set to a different time zone. Initially txtCurrentTime will be set to Pacific Time or system time.

At first I tried ‘Now() – “xx:xx:xx” but that produced an error. Anyway as we approach the east coast the ‘minus’ would need to be a...

I'm having some cross platform issues with timing loops. It seems time.time is better for some computers/platforms and time.clock others, but it's not always clear which, so I came up with the following to try to determine which. import time # Determine if time.time is better than time.clock # The one with better resolution should be lower.
