Is there anyway to extract just the hour in the time string? i mean like “17” instead “17:35:24” thankyou in advance

[Daniel]

Currently, using JavaScript code: document.timeString.split(":")[0]

See the example datetime_parsing.pma (929.5 KB)

Thanks for this. How do I add a real-time clock? Sorry if I’m missing something easy.

You can use Text widget and time string property. See the example time.pma (4.9 KB)
