Re: is there any Time function to gat a duration from string ?
I tried :
output = "00:00:03.10"
output.split('':'').inject(0){|a, m| a = a * 60 + m.to_f}
=> 3.1
is there any better way ?

You could convert the string to a time object and pick out the specific parts you want. This might come in handy if you want to store the time in the database at some point. http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/Time.html On Jul 10, 11:47 am, Erwin <yves_duf...-ee4meeAH724@public.gmane.org> wrote:> I tried : > output = "00:00:03.10" > > output.split('':'').inject(0){|a, m| a = a * 60 + m.to_f} > => 3.1 > > is there any better way ? > > On Jul 10, 5:37 pm, Erwin <yves_duf...-ee4meeAH724@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > > > > > > > > I get a string back from ffmpeg : "00:00:03.10" ( "hh:mm:ss" ) > > which class should I use to get it converted into 3.10 sec ( float) > > > thanks for your feedback-- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
