The $duration identifier can take a specified number of seconds and return it in weeks/days/hours/minutes/seconds format. After a value has been returned, the new value can even be used with the identifier in order to return the number of seconds.
Synopsis
$duration(seconds,N)
$duration(timestring)
Parameters
seconds The specific number of seconds to get the formatting for
N Can be either 2, which omits seconds from the results, or 3, which returns the time in hh:nn:ss format
Beginning v7.63 correctly handles negative durations.
Example
Echo the formatting for 38711810 seconds:
//echo -a $duration(38711810)
Result
64wks 1hr 16mins 50secs
//echo -a $duration(38711810,2)
Same except does not display the seconds. Result
64wks 1hr 16mins
//echo -a $duration(38711810,3)
Returns the display in HH:nn:ss format, with durations longer than 1 day returning hours > 23. Result
10753:16:50
Echo the formatting for converting 64wks 1hr 16mins 50secs back to seconds:
//echo -a $duration(64wks 1hr 16mins 50secs)
Result
38711810
The displayed timestring contains the time units touching their integers, so you will need to use $replace if you don't wish this:
//echo -a This computer restarted $regsubex(foo,$duration($uptime(system,3)),/([a-z]+)/g,$chr(32) $+ \t) ago!
