etstr#

Purpose#

Formats an elapsed time measured in hundredths of a second to a string.

Format#

str = etstr(tothsecs)#

Parameters:

tothsecs (scalar) – an elapsed time measured in hundredths of a second, as given, for instance, by the ethsec() function.

Returns:

str (string) –

containing the elapsed time in the form:

# days

# hours

# minutes

#,## seconds

Examples#

// Set start time
t_start = { 2012, 1, 2, 0 };

// Set end time
t_end = { 2012, 1, 14, 815642 };

// Find elapsed time in hundredths of secs
tothsecs = ethsec(t_start, t_end);

// Convert elapsed time to string format
str = etstr(tothsecs);

print "tothsecs   = " tothsecs;
print "str = " str;

Output:

tothsecs   = 104495642.000
str = 12 days  2 hours  15 minutes  56.42 seconds
