hi there, i made a simple export template:
```
$filename(Trackliste.txt,utf-8)
%album%
$loop(%track%)$num(%track%,2) %title%
$loopend()%_length_seconds%
```
now i want to print "95 minutes" instead of "1:35:00" or "5700 seconds".
how can i do some simple calculation? i only found about string functions...
thx in advance 🙂

thank you it works well.
but somehow i now messed up:
i want the length of all Tracks but the export only gives me the length of the 1st Track.
all files are processed but %length% now has only the time of the first track...
i also tried to workaround by using $puts $get and $add but don't really understand the typo...

Example export script, returns for one album a tracklist ordered by CD ...
**1: $filename($getEnv('USERPROFILE')'\Desktop\'$validate(%ARTIST%'.'%ALBUM%'.Tracklist.txt',),UTF-16)**
**2: %ARTIST%' - '%ALBUM%' - '%YEAR%
3:
4: $loop(%DISCNUMBER%)'CD '%DISCNUMBER%
5: $puts(my\_Counter,0)$loop(%\_filename%)$num($put(my\_Counter,$add($get(my\_Counter),1)),2)'.'$char(9)%TITLE%$char(9)%\_length%
6: $loopend()'---'$char(9)'Gesamtdauer'$char(9)%\_total\_time2%
7:
8: $loopend()**
