String Manipulation and maths
I have a result passed to me as a result of an sql query it is a string.
the string for example would be 03 02:45:00
This represents the duration of a trip.
I need to be able to perform some maths on this string in seperate sections......
I need the first two digits in the string to be *24 then *6 and return a value i then the next 2 digit to be *6 and added to the first value, finally i need the next two digits to be /10 then added to the total, the last two digits are to be ignored.
eg.,..03 02:45:00 would be ((03*24)*6)+(02*6)+(45/10)
Could anyone help me with some pointers for Visual Basic code to do this?

Just click split points and divide them between the comments that were actual answers, CS has lots to do
