timefmt

Description
Define the text format for both reading and writing time.
Type
String, read/write
Default value
"%0H:%0M:%0S%f"
Note
The time format consists in a text string in which the time information (like number of seconds) is specified using tags. A tag begins by the character "%" optionally followed by "." or "0" and a character indicating which specific information must be provided. The possible values are:
Hour (0-23)
Hour (1-12)
Minute (0-59)
Seconds (0-59)
Milliseconds (0-999)
Milliseconds as a fractonal value with a comma as the decimal separator (,001-,999)
Milliseconds as a fractonal value with a dot as the decimal separator (.001-.999)
text "pm" or "am"
text "PM" or "AM"
The symbol "%"

If the second character is used, the corresponding information is produced in fixed format with space ( ".") or zero ( "0") as the padding character. For instance, the hour 1 will be displayed as "1" with the format "%H"; as " 1" with "%.H" and as "01" with "%0H". When the formats f or F are used for parsing they both accept dot and comma as the decimal separator. The formats f and F without second character ( "." or "0") display nothing if the number of milliseconds is 0.
