calculate difference between two dates in scoped application

[ggg]

In my NON scoped app i used gs.dateDiff to get difference between two dates and it worked perfectly.

I am now in a scoped app and cannot use gs.dateDiff.

says to use GlideDateTime.subtract(d1, d2);

that returns a duration object of the form: 2 Days 23 Hours

How do i convert the duration object to seconds?

i have looked at posts and documentation and it is still not clear ...

I need the actual script ...

Try this:

var t = new GlideDateTime();
var f = new GlideDateTime('2019-04-08 16:43:33');
var dur = GlideDateTime.subtract(t, f);

var duration = dur.getNumericValue();
var durationSeconds = (duration/1000);

gs.info(t);
gs.info(dur.getDisplayValue());
gs.info(durationSeconds );
