Easy to calculate time format

 

How about a format for the Get DateTime action that can be easily used to calculate elapsed times? Sometime like the old standby, the number of seconds since midnite, Jan 1, 1970. So when I start a process that I want to figure the elapsed time for I could set a variable to the current time, and at the end I'd set another variable to the time and all I'd have to do is subtract to get the number of seconds that has elapsed. You could use "S" as the specifier.

Speaking of subtraction, is there a way to do basic math on variables and assign it to another variable? I guess I can do it in a script.

Thanks,

I’d love to find out how to get elapsed time. Am searching/investigating an answer for it now.
