time extraction

Archiver

I need to extract the seconds value from the TIME$ function using
Quick Basic. I have been able to get the hours and minutes values
by using the val(left $)and val(mid) functions but the val(right$)
always returns a "0". Can someone shed some light on this or is
a quirk of QB or the function itself?
I am using a Stamp2 in this project but the time keeping and logging
is being handle on a PC.
TIA, Frank

If you just want the string of the seconds use

somestring = mid$(time$,7,2)

or the numeric 'value'

someval = val(mid$(time$,7,2))

Hope this helps

Thank you! The valMid$(time$,7,2)... did the trick.
