Calculating time with AppleScript I created one start to log a "start time" and save into a plist file, and a an other script to read the start time and calculate the number of time elapsed from the start time and now (reading time)

first script (log time in plist) :

set myDate to date string of (current date)
set [dayLetter, dayNumber, MonthLetter, yearNumber] to the words of myDate
set t to (time string of (current date))
set [hoursInNumber, minutesInNumber, secondInNumber] to the words of t


set startTimeValue to (current date)
set startTimeClear to dayLetter &amp; " " &amp; dayNumber &amp; " " &amp; MonthLetter &amp; " at " &amp; hoursInNumber &amp; ":" &amp; minutesInNumber

set plistR to {startTime:startTimeValue, startTimeClear:startTimeClear}
tell application "System Events"
    set plistf to make new property list file ¬
        with properties {name:"~/Desktop/myTime.plist"}
    set plistf's value to plistR
end tell


second script (read plist)

set NowTimeValue to (current date)
set the plistfile_path to "~/Desktop/myTime.plist"
tell application "System Events"
    set p_list to property list file (plistfile_path)
    -- read the plist data
    set startTimeValue to value of property list item "startTime" of p_list
end tell
set Elapsed to startTimeValue - NowTimeValue


the main issue is, the time given is in second, and if I try yo divid by 60 that give me an hour.

how can I get this time in minutes / hours instead?
Never-mind find the solution :

set Elapsed to (startTimeValue - NowTimeValue as number) / 60
