A very simple program to convert a time in seconds to a string giving the time in hours, minutes and seconds. Useful for producing readable toc output from programs which run for ages.

e.g.

help secs2hms
SECS2HMS - converts a time in seconds to a string giving the time in hours, minutes and second
Usage TIMESTRING = SECS2HMS(TIME)]);
Example 1: >> secs2hms(7261)
>> ans = 2 hours, 1 min, 1.0 sec
Example 2: >> tic; pause(61); disp(['program took ' secs2hms(toc)]);
>> program took 1 min, 1.0 secs
