AMAZON.DURATION
Converts words that indicate durations into a numeric duration.
The duration is resolved to a format based on the ISO-8601 duration formatPnYnMnWnDTnHnMnS. The P indicates
that this is a duration, the n is a numeric value,
and the capital letter following the n is the
specific date or time element. For example, P3D
means 3 days. A T is used to indicate that the
remaining values represent time elements rather than date
elements.
Examples:
-
"ten minutes":
PT10M -
"five hours":
PT5H -
"three days":
P3D -
"forty five seconds":
PT45S -
"eight weeks":
P8W -
"seven years":
P7Y -
"five hours ten minutes":
PT5H10M -
