Hallo
Do You know any ready to use class/method that would return number of seconds, something like that:
method( "2" ) : would return 2 [secs]
method( "2s" ) : would return 2 [secs]
method( "2m" ) : would return 120 [secs]
method( "2h" ) : would return 7200 [secs]
method( "2d" ) : ...

Greetings

Hi,

You could write it yourself, fairly simply. I'm not sure
of any ready to use methods.

time = "";
if( time contains an d ){
    return the number bit multiplied by 86400;
}
else if( time contains a h ){
    return the number bit x 3600;
else if( time contains a m ){
    return the number bit x 60;
}
else{
    return the number bit;
}

This could be of use.

Your pb seems very simple :
a) either you have very simple inputs such as above you just split your
input String into two parts (the numeric & the unit) then do the
calculous by yourself
b) either it ca be more sophisticated, just use a RegExp

Philippe and Chris
Thank You for Your suggestions.
I do not like reinventing the wheel. It is so simple and ubiquitous thing that I just thought that there might be some jdk classes for that.
