Get elapsed time between two timestamps

[friedrich toussaint]

a happy new year to everybody,

with look for the causes of performance problems I found the posting of bcusic:
http://forum.servoy.com/viewtopic.php?t ... ht=elapsed

the script works great, but i needed it somewhere more flexible: here is my version:

there are four arguments, syntax looks like this:

elements.result.txt = globals.getElapsed(globals.gStartDate, globals.gEndDate, 'txt', 'DD');
elements.result.int = globals.getElapsed(globals.gStartDate, globals.gEndDate, 'int', ';');
elements.result.num = globals.getElapsed(globals.gStartDate, globals.gEndDate, 'num', 'HH');


the code:
//******************************************************************************************************************************************
// get arguments
//******************************************************************************************************************************************
var beg = arguments[0]; // start date
var end = arguments[1]; // end date
var ret_type = arguments[2]; // the return data type
var ret_format = arguments[3]; // the return data format
//******************************************************************************************************************************************
/*
arg1 = startdate
arg2 = enddate
arg3 = return data type, 'txt', 'int' or 'num'
arg4 = return data fornat,
at arg3 = 'txt' : the bigest returned format based on,
e.g.: 'HH' returns 'HH:mm:ss:SSS' or
'DD' returns 'DD HH:mm:ss:SSS' or
'ss' returns 'ss:SSS'
at arg3 = 'int' : define ret_format delimiter
e.g: ';' returns the array 'DD;HH;mm;ss;ms'
at arg3 = 'num' : define ret_format you want to return,
e.g.: 'DD', 'HH', 'mm', 'ss' or 'SSS'

Friedrich,

Thanks for sharing this!

Nice work!
