Time String to Seconds int

[willemuk]

My time values are minutes and seconds extracted from strings within a file. What I am having difficulty in doing is the conversion from "3:25" as a string to 205 seconds as an integer. My simple question would be then how is this achieved. So String to int conversion (in seconds). I attempted it already by using a delimiter to remove the ":" thus separating the minutes and seconds in an array but now I am stuck with how to proceed. any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

// String to split.
String str = "3:25";
String[] tempString;

// delimiter
String delimiter = ":";

// given string will be split.
tempString = str.split(delimiter);

Do you not like or appreciate the help you already received?

So you now have an array of two Strings, each representing integers.
The Integer API has a method or two that might be useful for your next step, which is turning the Strings into ints.

Thank you very much Tolls that helped a lot. I have used the decode method to parse the string values to ints and so far it seems to be working but will do further tests to be sure. Thanks again
