Re: [Qgis-user] time in Attribute

2019-10-03 Thread Stefan Giese (WhereGroup)
the problem is the missing leading zero in your time format, it should 
be:  '07:13:45' instead of  '7:13:45'

you can use a small function to fill the time string with leading zeros:

from qgis.core import *
from qgis.gui import *

@qgsfunction(args='auto', group='Custom')
def fill_time(timestring, feature, parent):
list = timestring.split(':')
newtime = 
str(list[0]).zfill(2)+':'+str(list[1]).zfill(2)+':'+str(list[2]).zfill(2)

return newtime

and then you can use it in the expression like this:
to_time(fill_time('7:13:45'))

Hello,

I am trying to figure out the duration between one day's survey begin
time (e.g., 7:13:45) and end time (e.g., 9:39:53) in an attribute
table of a line shape file. It has just two attributes begin and end.
But $lengh returns an error message and cannot figure out the
duration. I suspect that the fields are not in proper format. So, I
try to update the fields with

to_time("begin")

Then, it says Eval Error: Cannot convert '7:13:45' to Time.

What is a remedy? The “begin” and “end” are in string.

Best wishes,
