procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender
function ReadTime(str:String):TDate
begin
result:=EncodeDateTime
(StrToInt(Copy(str,1,2)), // <- the day
StrToInt(Copy(str,4,2)), // <- the month
StrToInt(Copy(str,7,4)), // <- the year
StrToInt(Copy(str,12,2)), // <- hour
StrToInt(Copy(str,15,2)), // <-minutes
StrToInt(Copy(str,18,2)), // <-seconds
StrToInt(Copy(str,21,2)));
end;
var
s1,s2:String;
dt1,dt2:TDateTime;
secDif:LongInt;
begin
s1:='07/11/2008 02.58.55 PM';
s2:='09/11/2008 03.15.00 PM';
dt1:=ReadTime(s1);
dt2:=ReadTime(s2);
secDif:=SecondsBetween(dt1
ShowMessage('Diff. in seconds: '+IntToStr(secDif));
ShowMessage('Diff: '+IntToStr(secDif div 3600)+' hours, '
+IntToStr((secDif mod 3600) div 60)+' minutes, '
+IntToStr((secDif mod 3600) mod 60)+' seconds');
end;

If you put this code in a timer event (1 second interval) instead of a button and instead of ShowMessage if you pass it to a label then you have your answer.
Hope this helps.
