Is there any internal method to convert hh:mm:ss to seconds

Hi,

 

I am using StopWatch object to measure the time taken to open a file in my test application. StopWatch.toString() method returns the time taken in the string format hh:mm:ss. 

 

I wanted to convert that returned time to seconds. Can anyone suggest me a possible solution to achieve this.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Thanks,

    StopWatch.Split() or StopWatch.Stop() both return the elapsed time as an integer of milliseconds.  Take that number, divide by 1000 and convert to a string and you have your number of seconds.

    Hi,

     

    I don't think we have direct internal method to achieve this scenarios. I'm using below code to convert it.

     

    function test12()
{
      var tempTime = aqConvert.StrToTime("00:25:54");
      Log.Message(convertTimetoSeconds(tempTime));
} 

function convertTimetoSeconds(timeObj)
{
      //Parameter should be a time object     
      var hours = aqDateTime.GetHours(timeObj);
      var minutes = aqDateTime.GetMinutes(timeObj);
      var seconds = aqDateTime.GetSeconds(timeObj);
      
      var totalMinues = minutes + (hours * 60);
      var totalseconds = seconds + (totalMinues * 60);
      
      return totalseconds;
          //if you want to return minutes then 
          //return totalMinues;
}
