Difference Between Times

[Chris_1013 0]

I know I've seen a DateDiff UDF knocking about somewhere, but has anyone already written code (it's Friday, I'm lazy and tired), for working out the amount of time between now and a time later today?

Thanks

Try "C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include\Date.au3" if you ran a recent AutoIt installer.

See also "Library Function Reference" in the help file

Edit:Ooops, it appears it hasn't been added. Maybe wait a few hours to see if it shows up?

You can find it if you search on "time" .. but it doesn't have a link from the Library Function Reference topic in Contents

Edit: Oops .. it is there after all .. see _TimeToTicks etc in Function Reference \ Library Function Reference

Ummm, I can't see DateDiff in the released version of AutoIt 3... is it there?

Doesn't seem to be there.

When I get the next update from Jeremy I'll keep an updated version available on the website like the Extra directory.
