Jens,

Why do you store the timestamps as strings?

If you keep the original timestamps in your array, you can use the "subtract" function and get the time difference in seconds.

In this case you will only have to convert the timestamps into strings just before displaying them.

hope this helps

You can also use "Scan from String" with the appropriate format specifier to convert a string to a timestamp.
