Does it really print that? Or does it actually print "0:00.00 (Elapsed)"? Be specific, if we make a program for the wrong input it won't give the right output.
You can probably make that simpler, by just feeding it "%F" instead of "%F (elapsed)", so it prints 0:00.00 per loop.
Then feed it through another loop so you can transform it into an expression to feed into bc.
Here's an incomplete example:
Code:
(
echo "(" # Start of bracket
while whatever
do
...
done | while IFS=":." read MIN SEC TENTH
do
echo "( ( $MIN * 60 ) * $SEC) +"
done
echo "0 )" # End of bracket. So we get ( A + B + C + D + 0 )
echo "/ 100" # Divide the whole mess by 100
) | bc
