Update a timer while wait_event is waiting?

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/Update a timer while wait_event is waiting?

PollEvent is working...I did it again...

Anywho, since CurrentTime() returns the time in a string anyone know how to use this to make a timer but not have to parse the string and do the math manually? Trying to make a simple timer base on the clock.

As in: New_Time = CurrentTimer() - Start_Time
