Hi Everybody,

I am having two strings in date and time format like 20.07.2009 17:00:20 PM and 20.07.2009 17:02:00 PM. I want to substract the string so as to get the date and time difference. Can anybody help me? . I am using Labview 8.0

I'd convert them to a timestamp datatype and then work on them.

If you look in the timing pallet, there is a Date/Time to Seconds which takes in a cluster. Parse out your strings, fill in the clusters, convert and subtract.

Hi,

You might want to use the "scan from string" primitive (to turn your date string into a timestamp), then cast your timestamp to DBL (actually "second") and then substract the 2 DBLs to have the timne difference in seconds.

hope this helps
