You need to do string manipulation. I'm writing a script for you.

set [number v] to [1]
set [onhour v] to [1]

set [hour v] to []
set [minute v] to []

repeat (length of (answer))
if <(letter (number) of (answer)) = [:]>
set [onhour v] to [0] 
else
if <(onhour) = [1]>
set [hour v] to (join (hour) (letter (number) of (answer)))
else
set [minute v] to (join (minute) (letter (number) of (answer)))
end
end
change [number v] by [1]
end

Hmm... Tricky... Couldn't you just use 1 variable?

How would i do this symbol : for each number? Oh, bobbybee can you explain the script?

I'll try my best. (for now, just put it right after the ask block)

1) Gets the variables set up:
-number is how many characters in of the answer have been looked at
-onhour says whether it is reading the hour or minute (based on where the colon is)
-hour and minute is the hour and minutes respectively

2) Runs a routine for each character (number/colon) of the string:
-Checks if it reached the colon. If it did, change to minutes rather than hours
-If it didn't, check whether it is on hours or minutes. Use the appropriate variable

-It sets the variable (hour or minute) to the current variable joined with the current character.

Well you could ask something like this,

What is the hour:

Then you could ask this,

What is the minute:

But then you would have to make something like this:

if <(answer)=[1]>
  set (minute) to [1]
end

if <(answer)=[1]>
  set (hour) to [1]
end

if <(answer)=[2]>
  set (minute) to [2]
end

if <(answer)=[2]>
  set (hour) to [2]
end

And you would have to do that for each one until 60.

It would actually be more like this

if <(answer)=[2]>
  set (hour) to (answer)

  Thanks! Oh, can you make the script so that it deletes the zero and adds the : ?

I don't really understand. Deleting the zero just requires another if statement, but what do you mean by adding the colon? Use the join block, I suppose.

join (join (hour) [:]) (minutes)

It puts the hours and the minutes together into the hour variable...

Nevermind, I thInk I have it... Mods close it...

A little... Mods don't close it... I just need hours to be seperate from minutes... The time is in the variable hours

Hmm, no, it puts the variable hours and the variable minutes together in the variable hours.

Bump!
