Is there an easy way to convert from the time in total seconds (as returned by "time of (current date)") to a user readable "military" or "AM/PM" time string and back in AS? I have been looking around and can't seem to find any such functions, but I thought I'd ask.

set current_time to time of (current date)
set this_hour to current_time div hours
set these_minutes to (current_time mod hours) div minutes
set mil_time to (strings -2 through -1 of ("0" & this_hour as string)) & ¬
(strings -2 through -1 of ("0" & these_minutes as string))
set display_time to mil_time & " hours"


and back:

set now to strings 1 through 2 of mil_time & ":" & strings 3 through 4 of mil_time
set now_seconds to time of date now


What I'd really like to do is compare two times without the date so that I can check it with my script and tell it to quit running if it gets to be a certain time.

Why without the date?
