Example

sDiff is string
sDiff = DateTimeDifference(sStart, sEnd)
// Convert the difference into a duration variable
dDuration is Duration
dDuration = StringToDuration(sDiff, durationCenti)

Syntax

<Result> = StringToDuration(<String> , <Format>)

<Result>: Duration variable

Duration in a format recognized by the Duration variables.

<String>: Character string

Duration in the format specified in <Format>.

<Format>: Character string

Format of the duration to convert. This format corresponds to:
a character string (a sentence for example). The specific characters representing the different elements of the duration (D, HH, MM, SS or LLL) will be automatically replaced by their value identified in the <Duration> string. In this string, the characters:
D represents the number of days,
HH represent the number of hours,
MM represent the number of minutes,
SS represent the number of seconds,
LLL represent the number of milliseconds.
one of the following constants:
durationMilli Format used: "+DHHMMSSLLL"
durationCenti Format used: "+DHHMMSSLL": used to create a duration from the format of the result of DateTimeDifference

Remarks

The direct assignment <Duration> = <String> is equivalent to StringToDuration used with the "+DHHMMSSLLL" format.
