Extract Minute From Date-Time Value Method

The Extract Minute From Date-Time Value method returns the minute component of a date and time value. The return value is an integer variable type in the range of 0 through 59. If the return value is null, then this method returns a null variable type. For more information, see Variants.

Format

Minute(time)

The argument that this method uses is the same as the argument that the Convert String to Time method uses. For more information, see Convert String to Time Method.

If the value that the time argument contains does not evaluate to a date and time or to a time value, then this method returns 0 (zero). For example:

• The value 13:26 or the value 1:45:12 PM returns a valid results.
• The value 1326 returns a 0.

Example

The following example gets the hour, minute, and second of the last modification date and time of a file:

Sub Button_Click
   Dim filename as String
   Dim ftime
   Dim hr, min
   Dim sec
   Dim msgtext as String
      i: msgtext = "Enter a filename:"
   filename = "d:\temp\trace.txt"
   If filename = "" then
      Exit Sub
   End If
   On Error Resume Next
   ftime = FileDateTime(filename)
   If Err <> 0 then
      Goto i:
   End If
   hr = Hour(ftime)
   min = Minute(ftime)
   sec = Second(ftime)
End Sub
