Hi guys

I am currently busy on an import of data in which i convert duration(time format hh:mm:ss) to seconds as i do a compare on my data in seconds

The issue i am having is when converting the duration to timespan of totalseconds
i am getting an error if the duration exceeds 23:59:59

How would i be able to convert my time (e.g. 68:25:35) to seconds?

What I have tried:

This is the code i am currently running
e.g. duration in file = '68:25:35'
duration = FileValue(count)
duration = TimeSpan.Parse(duration).TotalSeconds

You have to write your own code. TimeSpan requires the number of day so your file should contains 2.20:25:35 instead if you want to use TimeSpan.

Convert yourself:

C#

var s = duration.Split(':'); // given "68:25:35" as a string
var totalsecs = int.Parse(s[0])*3600 + int.Parse(s[1])*60 + int.Parse(s[2]);
