seconds to hh:mm:ss - UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

akrathi · #1 10-19-2005

Any sleek way to convert seconds to hh:mm:ss format .
I know it can be done by mod and divide . Looking for a one liner if possible .

Example
3600 seconds = 01:00:00
3601 seconds = 01:00:01

Dunno if it's the most concise, but it's what I came up with. Fun problem

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

$si=$ARGV[0];

$s=$si%60;
$m=(($si%3600)-$s)/60;
$h=$s/3600;
$h=~s/^(\d+).*/$1/;

print "$h:$m:$s\n";

Should be easy to turn that into a 1-liner.

My purpose was just to explore if I am missing something
