question: public static final long timeToLong ( String timeString ) { RaptorStringTokenizer tok = new RaptorStringTokenizer ( timeString , "(:.)" , true ) ; long minutes = Integer . parseInt ( tok . nextToken ( ) ) ; long seconds = Integer . parseInt ( tok . nextToken ( ) ) ; long millis = Integer . parseInt ( tok . nextToken ( ) ) ; return minutes * 1000 * 60 + seconds * 1000 + millis ; }
target:  Converts a time in: (0:00.000) mmm:ss.MMM format into a long value representing milliseconds.
