How can I have timespan display less

Question

Currently when using

 System.DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay

It will display 4 decimals:

Hours:Minutes:Seconds:TT

How can I make it display only 3 Hours:Minutes:Seconds?

Like a normal clock?

You just split off the milliseconds. Try this:

 string time = System.DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.ToString().Split('.')[0];
 Debug.Log(time);

Based on the documentation here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/System.DateTime_methods(v=vs.110).aspx you need to use the ToString Method and pass the format you want.

 System.DataTime.Now.ToString("h:mm");

Thanks for the answer, I don't quite understand what's going on and it doesn't quite work, Baste's answer did the job but I will look further into this.

Thanks for the help.
