If - like me - you like your time displayed in 12-hour format rather than 24 (the way your computer handles the time) then the following code may be of use to you: it returns a string containing the time in 12-hour format.

// Returns the time in 12 hour format (with am/pm) as a string

string 12HourTime()

{

int hour;

string ampm, min, sec, thetime;



if (systime.hour >= 12)

	{

	hour = systime.hour - 12;

	ampm = "pm";

	}



else	{

	hour = systime.hour;

	ampm = "am";

	}



if (systime.minute < 10) { min = "0"+str(systime.minute);}

else { min = str(systime.minute); }



if (systime.second < 10) { sec = "0"+str(systime.second);}

else { sec = str(systime.second); }



thetime = str(hour)+":"+min+":"+sec+" "+ampm;



return thetime;

}
