Hours, minutes, and seconds to radians

Description

Angular conversion from hours, minutes, and seconds to radians.

Usage

hms2rad(h = '12h 3m 45.6s')

Arguments

h

String hours, minutes, and seconds

Details

Function reads a string (the input is a string to allow conversion of angles between -1 and zero hours) with hours, minutes, and seconds separated by any of characters d, m, s, a colon, or a comma. Spaces are not valid separators, as they are removed as part of input parsing. Zeros are the default if values for minutes or seconds are missing from the string. A minus sign before the hours indicates negative hours. Decimal values are allowed in any position.

Value

Angle in radians.
