D: I'm trying to get an application to be able to use a given time and figure out how many seconds are left until that time. The time is anywhere from an hour to a week away. What do I use to do this? n/a

That stores any date in the number of seconds since the unix epoc (a date in the 1980's I think, Wikipedia will have it). So, find the time and date you're starting from with the Timestamp's 'get today' expression, and the timestamp for the target date. target date - today = seconds between the two Should work 191 / 9999 * 7 + 191 * 7
