time compare

[krymzon]

just curious is there is an easy function embedded into asp that works in a similar manner to datediff(), but instead of working with dates it would work with times like 9;45 pm to 9;50 pm, etc. right now i shudder at the fact that i might have to make a function that would parse the text...lol. not that it would be hard, but eleminating extra work is always nice.

DateDiff Does exactly what you want, with the interval argument set to "n" for minutes (or similarly, "h" for hour or "s" for seconds). Like this:

<%
Time1 = "8:30 pm"
Time2 = "9:45 pm"

Diff = DateDiff("n", Time1, Time2)

Response.Write(Diff
%>

which would result in "75".

If you wanted the results in hours and minutes, you'd just change the write to calculate each, like this:

Response.Write(Int(Diff / 60) & " hours and " & Diff Mod 60 & " minutes")

which would result in "1 hour and 15 minutes".
