Let's say I got 16548 minutes, how can I convert that to x day(s), x hour(s), and x minute(s)...

The problem is that I'm working on a server uptime script, I can get the time the server was last rebooted and format it to how many minutes the server's been up using DateDiff, but how do I convert the minutes to days, hours and minutes.

I can't use DateDiff function cuz it'll format 13 hours into a day as it rounds it, 35 minutes to an hour etc... so I'll have to work from the minutes to make it accurate...

Thanks in advance...

i just whipped up a function that should do that for ya

if the answer is: "11 days, 48 hours, 48 minutes"

then the function i wrote is:

Function MinsToDaysHoursMins( i_mins )
     Dim intDays, intHours, intMins, temp
     temp = i_mins \ (60*24)
     intDays = temp
     temp = i_mins - (intDays * 60 * 24 )
     intHours = temp \ 60
     intMins = temp - (intHours * 60)
     MinsToDaysHoursMins = intDays & " days, " & intMins & " hours, " & intMins & " minutes"
End function

Thanks man, I appreciate it!, it's still need a little work though... isn't 48 hours a bit too much..? :-)

<edit> or sometimes the ones I've tried will display an accurate time one minute and not the next one...

Boss the function has a problem. the minutes and hour are same.

It should be like :

Function MinsToDaysHoursMins( i_mins )
     Dim intDays, intHours, intMins, temp
     temp = i_mins \ (60*24)
     intDays = temp
     temp = i_mins - (intDays * 60 * 24 )
     intHours = temp \ 60
     intMins = temp - (intHours * 60)
     MinsToDaysHoursMins = intDays & " days, " & intHours & " hours, " & intMins & " minutes"
End function
