Recursion level has been exceeded

[fs1234]

Hi All,

Sorry for my bad english. I tried this script with the function found here, but with Stringleft i get "Recursion level has been exceeded" error. I have no idea why.

Help, pls.

Thanks

$s= "2143"
$e= "0030"

$DiffFullMin = _GetTimeDiffUtil(StringLeft($s, 2), StringRight($s, 2), 00, StringRight($e, 2)) ; it's working
;$DiffFullMin = _GetTimeDiffUtil(StringLeft($s, 2), StringRight($s, 2), StringLeft($e, 2), StringRight($e, 2)) ; it's not
MsgBox(0, "", $DiffFullMin)


;Returns time difference in minutes. Only supports maximum of 23 hrs 59 mins time span.
Func _GetTimeDiffUtil($sHour, $sMin, $eHour, $eMin)
    ;Start time and end time occurs within the same hour
    If $sHour == $eHour Then
        If $eMin > $sMin Then
            ;Time span is within the same hour
            Return $eMin - $sMin
        Else
            ;Time span is near 24 hours
            Return 3600 - $sMin + $eMin
        EndIf
    EndIf
    ;Start time and end time occur within the same day
    If $sHour < $eHour Then
        Return (60 * ($eHour - $sHour - 1)) + (60 - $sMin + $eMin)
    EndIf
    ;Start time is before midnight and end time is after midnight
    Return _GetTimeDiffUtil($sHour, $sMin, 24, 0) + _GetTimeDiffUtil(0, 0, $eHour, $eMin)
EndFunc

fs1234,

You keep calling the function from within itself - hence the recursion fail.  I suggest reading the Recursion tutorial in the Wiki to understand why this is usually a bad idea unless you are very careful.

And if you require time differences, why not use _DateDiff?

Trouble with an operator
Please change this

If $sHour == $eHour Then

to this

If $sHour = $eHour Then

Thank you, guys!
