A very simple command line time card calculator to get the decimal difference between hh:mm-hh:mm. The basis of the code was copied a long time ago from a page I cannot find anymore, so I cannot cite the original author (I would like to, though).
This is typically something you can use if you have to fill in time sheets or time tracking software. On the commandline you would do the following:
$ timepaster
$ Enter Start-End (hh:mm-hh:mm): 09.36-11.18
and the result is displayed as:
Duration: 1 hrs and 42 min
Decimal difference: 1.7
______________________________
The decimal time difference is also loaded into the clipboard. So now you can just "paste" (ctrl-v) from your system clipboard and the calculated value will appear.
The time notation with points is simply because 09.36 is faster to type on a numpad than 09:36.
Type "quit" to exit the commandline app.
TODO:
- Use copied time calculatoin strings as input (copy: 12.36-16.42 and place the result in the clipboard)
- Accept different time formats (as long as they are consistent) such as 01.36, 01:36, 1:36.
