[Xerte] Re: counting seconds

GetTimer() returns the number of ms since 1.1.1970, so

T = gettimer()

Then later

 Secs = (getTimer() - t ) /1000

Subject: [Xerte] counting seconds

Anyone know if xerte desktop has an equivalent to the AW ‘systemseconds’ function?

When a user enters a module I want to snapshot the ‘systemseconds’. When they leave the module I want to grab it again and determine how many total seconds they spent in the module, then divide by 60 for minutes. I don’t want a seconds counter that resets to ‘0’ each minute… don’t immediately see what I can use for this.
