Humanizer.TimeSpanDehumanizeExtensions

TimeSpanDehumanizeExtensions Class​

Contains extension methods for parsing invariant duration text into a System.TimeSpan.

public static class TimeSpanDehumanizeExtensions

Inheritance System.Object → TimeSpanDehumanizeExtensions

Methods​

TimeSpanDehumanizeExtensions.DehumanizeTimeSpan(this string) Method​

Parses a standard invariant System.TimeSpan value or compact duration tokens using ms, s, m, h, d, and w.

public static System.TimeSpan DehumanizeTimeSpan(this string input);

Parameters​

input System.String

The duration text to parse.

Returns​

System.TimeSpan
The parsed duration.

Exceptions​

System.ArgumentNullException
Thrown when input is null.

System.FormatException
Thrown when input is not a supported duration.

Remarks​

Compact tokens are culture-invariant, may be separated by whitespace, and may have one leading sign. Units may repeat and appear in any order; their values are added. Each token must resolve to whole ticks. A week is seven days. Colon-separated values use the standard invariant System.TimeSpan interpretation.

TimeSpanDehumanizeExtensions.TryDehumanizeTimeSpan(this string, TimeSpan) Method​

Tries to parse a standard invariant System.TimeSpan value or compact duration tokens using ms, s, m, h, d, and w.

public static bool TryDehumanizeTimeSpan(this string? input, out System.TimeSpan result);

Parameters​

input System.String

The duration text to parse.

result System.TimeSpan

The parsed duration, or System.TimeSpan.Zero when parsing fails.

Returns​

System.Boolean
true when parsing succeeds; otherwise, false.

Remarks​

Compact tokens are culture-invariant, may be separated by whitespace, and may have one leading sign. Units may repeat and appear in any order; their values are added. Each token must resolve to whole ticks. A week is seven days. Colon-separated values use the standard invariant System.TimeSpan interpretation.
