how to get time stamp as a number

[hema]

The get date/time vi gives time stamp in string or cluster. I want time stamp as number because i have to give time stamp number to a build array along with another number. How do i get this , say for example time as 14.32

One of the many possibility is divide string "14.23" on String>Search and
Replace function :
-> 'string' connect your time-string
-> 'serach string' connect constant string "." [of course without "" 🙂 ]
-> 'replace string' connect 'Empty String Constant' from String palette

at output 'result string' connect from String>String\Number Conversion
function Decimal String to Number
You will recive I32 number with 2 first digits attributive hour and next 2 -
minutes
