Adding time Strings in swift - ios

Question

I have an array of timeStrings of the following format:
x Hr(s) xx min.
I need to add these up to give a total. I'm wondering what is the best way to do this?
My thoughts were to find the index of "Hr(s)". Then if i substring between index 0 and the index of "Hr(s)", I have my hrs var and then add 6 to index of "Hr(s)" and find the index of "min" - 1, to give me the min var.
Then I need to take into account if seconds is greater than 60. So if I divide my seconds var by 60 and the answer is great than 1, I add that answer to my hrs var?
Can anyone see any flaws in this logic?
Sample implementation:
JSON response:
{"status":"OK","hrs":[{"scheduleDate":"2015-11-09","userName":"John Doe","company":"Company X","hrsWorked":"0 Hr(s) 42 min"},{"scheduleDate":"2015-11-10","userName":"Jane Doe","company":"Company Y","hrsWorked":"0 Hr(s) 47 min"},{"scheduleDate":"2015-11-10","userName":"Bob loblaw","company":"Company X","hrsWorked":"0 Hr(s) 37 min"},{"scheduleDate":"2015-11-10","userName":"Joe Soap","company":"Company Y","hrsWorked":"0 Hr(s) 50 min"},{"scheduleDate":"2015-11-10","userName":"Test","company":"Company Y","hrsWorked":"0 Hr(s) 40 min"}],"queryStatus":"OK","message":null,"count":5}
var hrsVar = 0
var minsVar = 0
loop through hrsArray{
hrsMinStr = hrsWorkedInJson
if let endHrsIndex = hrsMinStr.lowercaseString.characters.indexOf("Hr(s)") {
print("Index: \(index)")
let hrsStr = Int(hrsMinStr.substringWithRange(Range<String.Index>(start: 0, end: endHrsIndex)))
hrsVar += hrsStr
let minStr = Int(hrsMinStr.substringWithRange(Range<String.Index>(start: endHrsIndex + 1, end: hrsMinStr.length - 3)))
minsVar += minStr
}
}
if minsVar/60 > 1 {
hrsVar = hrsVar + minsVar/60
minsVar = minsVar%60
}
Update
It seems as though I cannot pass in "Hr(s)" and instead only a single character "h". Because of this, I was trying to use the advancedBy(x) method to get the right endIndex. But I'm getting the error:
Cannot invoke initializer for type 'Range<Index>' with an argument list of type '(start: Int, end: String.CharacterView.Index)'
Updated code:
if let endHrsIndex = hrsMinStr.lowercaseString.characters.indexOf("h") {
print("Index: \(endHrsIndex)")
let hrsStr = Int(hrsMinStr.substringWithRange(Range<String.Index>(start: 0, end: endHrsIndex)))
hrsVar += hrsStr
let minStr = Int(hrsMinStr.substringWithRange(Range<String.Index>(start: endHrsIndex.advancedBy(5), end: hrsMinStr.length.characters.count.advancedBy(-3))))
minsVar += minStr
}
I'm really looking for the most efficient approach as possible, so please advise if there is a better way/if you see issues with this approach

import Foundation
let str = "0 Hr(s) 42 min"
let time = str
.stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString("Hr(s)", withString:":")
.stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString("min", withString: "")
.stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString(" ", withString: "")
let t = time.characters.split(Character(":"))
let h = Int(String(t[0])) // 0
let m = Int(String(t[1])) // 1
and sum
import Foundation
var time: [(hours:Int,minutes:Int,seconds:Int)] = []
for i in 0...5 {
let h = Int(arc4random_uniform(24))
let m = Int(arc4random_uniform(60))
let s = Int(arc4random_uniform(60))
time.append((h,m,s))
}
let t = time.reduce(0) { (sum, time: (hours: Int, minutes: Int, seconds: Int)) -> Int in
sum + time.seconds + time.minutes * 60 + time.hours * 60 * 60
}
let seconds = t % 60
let minutes = ((t - seconds) / 60) % 60
let hours = ((t - seconds) / 3660)
time.forEach {
print(String(format: " %6d:%02d:%02d", arguments: [$0.hours,$0.minutes, $0.seconds]))
}
print("-------------------")
print(String(format: "Sum: %6d:%02d:%02d", arguments: [hours,minutes,seconds]))
/*

You should most likely try using the scanners in your case.
let string = "12 Hr(s) 37 min"
let scanner = NSScanner(string: string)
var min: Int = 0
var hour : Int = 0
scanner.scanInteger(&hour)
scanner.scanString("Hr(s) ", intoString: nil)
scanner.scanInteger(&min)
Or even easier if you create this part in Objective-C:
int min, hour;
sscanf("12 Hr(s) 37 min", "%d Hr(s) %d min", &hour, &min);
