convert MM:SS or HH:MM:SS to duration

[imbault]

Hi,

I'm using the Chronometer, and I've to convert the value which can be either MM:SS or HH:MM:SS to a duration, in minutes or seconds.

Maybe any of you, already, made that function...

BTW, I'll post tomorrow, the code to stop and restart later the chrono, it was not that obvious (code is at my work)

Cheers

Patrick

If you have the time in hh:mm:ss format, I think you can calculate seconds, as

dim tm as string
tm="00:24:54"
dim sec as int
sec=3600*tm.substring2(0,2)+60*tm.substring2(3,5)+tm.substring(6)
