Name

duration — calculate end date from given start date and duration

DESCRIPTION

The filter takes a start date and a duration as inputs, and outputs the end date.

EXAMPLES

Example: Obtaining an end date string

The following example sets start date to Feb 12, 2005 (at 8:00 am), and the duration to 12 hours.
[cgi name=start_date set=200502120800 hide=1]
[cgi name=length     set="12 hours"   hide=1]
[filter op=duration.start_date.length /]

NOTES

For more information on Perl Regular Expressions, pattern matching and character classes, see perlre(1).

The timelocal() function used in the filter comes from the Time::Local Perl module.
