The time duration value
The time duration value is a custom flag value that converts a string input into a duration of time.
A typical string input would be in the form of something like "3 days, 12 hours and 39 minutes"
.
The value can convert units in days, hours, minutes and seconds.
To ensure that your string input is converted correctly there are simple rules to follow.
- The input must be wrapped in quotes.
- Use
day
ordays
to convert the number of days. - Use
hour
orhours
to convert the number of hours. - Use
minute
orminutes
to convert the number of minutes. - Use
second
orseconds
to convert the number of seconds. - There must be at least one space between the number and the unit of time.
E.g."7 days"
is valid, but"7days"
is invalid.
Example valid string inputs
"3 days"
"6 hours, 45 minutes and 1 second"
"1 day, 15 hours 31 minutes and 12 seconds"
"(7 days) (1 hour) (21 minutes) (35 seconds)"
