I'm reading a file delimited by a semicolon and one of the information that is the duration of the link is coming as "00:97:54".
When trying to convert to TimeSpan, it obviously gives error
The TimeSpan could not be parsed because at least one of the numeric components is out of range or contain too many digits
How do I convert this time?
It depends on how you have this data, if you are sure that time always comes right it can do like this:
using static System.Console;
using System;
public class Program {
public static void Main() {
var time = "00:97:54".Split(':');
WriteLine(new TimeSpan(int.Parse(time[0]), int.Parse(time[1]), int.Parse(time[2])));
}
}
See running on .NET Fiddle . And at Coding Ground . Also put it on GitHub for future reference .
See TryParse() if you can not guarantee the correct format.
