Delimiter in RouterOS

RouterOS Scripting
1

Hi,

How do I convert the uptime output from 1d12:28:40 to seconds?

Is there a command in RouterOS for processing delimiters, i.e., “cut -d:” and “awk -F’:'” in shell script?

Thanks.

maybe :pick could be useful.

I can try to write something if I get a chance later… but the basic idea is use :pick to break it up into its pieces and then convert them to numbers and multiply it all together…

:local myString “1d:12:00:00”
:local days [:pick $myString (0 [:find $myString “d”])]
:set myString [:pick $myString ([:find $myString “d”]+2) [:len $myString]]

    :local hours [:pick $myString (0 [:find $myString ":"])]
    :set myString [:pick $myString ([:find $myString ":"]+1) [:len $myString]]

    :local minutes [:pick $myString (0 [:find $myString ":"])]
    :set myString [:pick $myString ([:find $myString ":"]+1) [:len $myString]]

    :local seconds $myStringOr something like that.

Thanks for the example and help.

If “myString” was “1d:12:00:00”, it above script worked great. However, if “myString” was “12:34:56”, the variable “days” would return 1 as well. I am using RouterOS v6.7.

You’ll have to insert an if statement then to account due the variability.
