Convert Seconds to Days, hours and minutes

[Matt]

I'm trying to convert the Uptime variable %UPS to days hours and minutes but I'm hitting a few problems.

I can covert it to days (divide by 86400) but this gives me something like 10.865. What I would like to get to is 10 days 4 hours 30 minutes. If I could round up the minutes to whole hours so much the better).

Is there a way of working with remainders in Variables?

Thanks

floor(123.456) gives you 123
ceil(123.456) gives you 124
10%3 gives you 1

Hope that helps.

Look in the maths library page in the userguide. There's probably an
function to
get rid of the .865 ('int' or similar)

To get hours and minutes:

%partdayseconds = %UPS % 86400 (seconds left after removing the days)
%hours = int( partdayseconds / 3600 )
%parthourseconds = %partdayseconds % 3600 ( seconds left after
removing the hours)
%mins = int( %parthourseconds / 60 )

Perfect, just had to replace int with floor and it worked a treat.
