Is there a command to display number of seconds as hrs:min:seconds?

[Tom Glod]

Let me throw my hat into the ring here...lol....I wrote this function to
display time in a specific format

function TimeDisplay HowManySeconds
   local final_output = "<d> days <hh>:<mm>:<ss>"

   local running_second_count
   local next_calculation

   set itemdelimiter to "."  -- we are looking at boths sides of the
decimal place

   // 86,400 seconds in an day
   // 3600 in an hour
   // 60 seonds in a minute
   // replace counts as you go

   -- days

   put HowManySeconds / 86400 into next_calculation

   if next_calculation < 1 then
      put HowManySeconds into running_second_count
      replace "<d>" with "0" in final_output
   else
      // how many days?
      replace "<d>" with  item 1 of next_calculation in final_output
      put (HowManySeconds) - (item 1 of next_calculation * 86400) into
running_second_count
   end if

   -- hours

   put running_second_count / 3600 into next_calculation

   if next_calculation < 1 then
      replace "<hh>" with "00" in final_output
   else
      // how many hours?
      if the number of characters in item 1 of next_calculation = 1 then
         replace "<hh>" with "0" & item 1 of next_calculation in
final_output
      else
         replace "<hh>" with item 1 of next_calculation in final_output
      end if

      put (running_second_count) - (item 1 of next_calculation * 3600) into
running_second_count
   end if


   -- minutes

   put running_second_count / 60 into next_calculation

   if next_calculation < 1 then
      replace "<mm>" with "00" in final_output
   else
      // how many minutes?
      if the number of characters in item 1 of next_calculation = 1 then
         replace "<mm>" with "0" & item 1 of next_calculation in
final_output
      else
         replace "<mm>" with item 1 of next_calculation in final_output
      end if

      put (running_second_count) - (item 1 of next_calculation * 60) into
running_second_count

   end if

   -- seconds

   put running_second_count into next_calculation

      if next_calculation < 1 then
      replace "<ss>" with "00" in final_output
   else
      // how many minutes?
      if the number of characters in item 1 of next_calculation = 1 then
         replace "<ss>" with "0" & next_calculation in final_output
      else
         replace "<ss>" with next_calculation in final_output
      end if
   end if

   return final_output
end TimeDisplay
