Can I have Tasker on 12hr clock?

[Glenn Elliott]

I hate military time! lol Any help?

What do you want to do?

[Glenn Elliott]

well like when setting up timed events, it's on military time,  I would like it on 12hr time...

I wrote this task to format time.  Par1 is the time, Par 2 is [civ|mil],[delimiter].  So to get civilian time, call with Par2 = civ,:

It defaults to civilian time.  For some reason I decided not to default the delimiter... don't remember why, but there WAS a reason :).  BTW, I just made  a bug fix to this since 12:15pm was showing up as 12:15am, but can't test it until after noon tomorrow.  Other than that this is pretty solid.

Hmmm... I was just looking this over again and all it really does is convert military time to civilian (which is what you were looking for) but it won't convert civilian to military.  You could just get rid of Par2 and make this a little simpler.

Oops, our posts crossed.  I can help you format time, but I doubt there is any way to change the internal workings of Tasker regarding timed events, etc.  Nor am I sure that you would really want to.  I could foresee a lot of posts out here "I have this event for a specific time and it fires twice a day instead of once" :).

not if PM and AM are added! lol
