Hi Monks,
I am trying to change the time that comes in as 19:45:34 as an example, to actually display like 7:45 PM. It Will have two variables to be checked, and I know what I am doing isn't efficient, since the code can just grow to long. There is anyone out there that could tell me a better way of doing that?
Here is the code:
my $xcltime = "19:45:34"; # It should print 7:45 PM
my $xcltime2 = "23:35:14"; # It should print 11:35 PM

if (($xcltime=~/(\d{1,2}):(\d{1,2}):(\d{1,2})/)||($xcltime2=~/(\d{1,2}
+):(\d{1,2}):(\d{1,2})/))
{
    my $h1=$1;my $m2=$2; my $s3=$3;
    print "$h1,$m2,$s3<br>";
    
    if($h1=~/13||14||15||16||17||18||19||20||21||22||23||24/)
     {
         $h1=~s/13/1/;
         $h1=~s/14/2/;
         $h1=~s/15/3/;
         $h1=~s/16/4/;
         $h1=~s/17/5/;
         $h1=~s/18/6/;
         $h1=~s/19/7/;
         $h1=~s/20/8/;
         $h1=~s/21/9/;
         $h1=~s/22/10/;
         $h1=~s/23/11/;
         $h1=~s/24/12/;
         
         $xcltime=$h1.":".$m2."&nbsp;PM";
         $xcltime2=$h1.":".$m2."&nbsp;PM";
         print "<b>$xcltime - $xcltime2</b><br>";

      }else
             {$xcltime = $xcltime."AM"; print "<b>$xcltime - $xcltime2
+</b><br>";}

Thank you all very much!
