[Orgmode] Re: how do you extract schedule duration in column-view

[Inquisitive Scientist]

Actually, I can almost figure out how to do this myself if I knew what function to use to convert a string like 

         SCHEDULED: <2010-08-12 Thu 10:20-10:45>

into a duration. If I call org-time-string it only gives me the first part of the date and ignores the ending point.

Any tips on what org-mode function to use to get the duration of a scheduled time?

Dear Experts,

How do I make it so that column-view shows the duration of a scheduled task? I now that if I do something like

* my top node
    :PROPERTIES:
    :COLUMNS: %40ITEM %%10SCHEDULED
    :END:

and then create a dynamic-block I can get a table to show the scheduled time, but what do I do if I want the duration of a scheduled task?

Thanks,
