TimeDuration removing milliseconds.md

When you have TimeCategory do calculation and return duration difference you will get it took 1.001 seconds for example.. To get rid of the milliseconds I used this hack, take from Tim Yates here:

A slight tweak to set millseconds to 0 then parse out .000 from output...

  private String getDuration(Date startDate,Date endDate) {
		if (startDate && endDate) {
			//return TimeCategory.minus(endDate, startDate)
			TimeDuration customPeriod = use(TimeCategory ) {
				customDuration( endDate - startDate )
			}
			return customPeriod.toString().replace('.000','')
		}
	}
	
	TimeDuration customDuration( TimeDuration tc ) {
		// Replacing tc.mills with 0 then parsing it out above
		new TimeDuration(  tc.days , tc.hours, tc.minutes, tc.seconds, 0)
	}

Tim is a legend :)
