lubridate (version 1.8.0)

ms: Parse periods with hour, minute, and second components

Description

Transforms a character or numeric vector into a period object with the specified number of hours, minutes, and seconds. hms() recognizes all non-numeric characters except '-' as separators ('-' is used for negative durations). After hours, minutes and seconds have been parsed, the remaining input is ignored.

Usage

ms(..., quiet = FALSE, roll = FALSE)

hm(..., quiet = FALSE, roll = FALSE)

hms(..., quiet = FALSE, roll = FALSE)

Value

a vector of period objects

Arguments

...

a character vector of hour minute second triples

quiet

logical. If TRUE, function evaluates without displaying customary messages.

roll

logical. If TRUE, smaller units are rolled over to higher units if they exceed the conventional limit. For example, hms("01:59:120", roll = TRUE) produces period "2H 1M 0S".
