How to calculate all time durations in a file automatically?

How to calculate all time durations in a file automatically?

[Martin Schroeder]

I have imported a bunch of log lines with CLOCK periods from another
program into an org file but I have forgotten to calculate periods. So
my time lines look like this:

CLOCK: [2019-03-27 Wed 19:30]--[2019-03-27 Wed 21:30]

Instead of this:

CLOCK: [2019-03-27 Wed 19:30]--[2019-03-27 Wed 21:30] =>  2:00

I can now no longer check in on any task until I fix all these ranges
in all of my agenda files. So I have to go to each one and do C-c C-c.

Surely there has to be a better way but in my searching with a giant
flashlight I was not able to find it yet. Can anybody point me in the
right direction?

Dear Martin,

Just go to the beginning of buffer and <M-:> (while (re-search-forward
org-clock-line-re) (org-ctrl-c-ctrl-c)) <RET>. Or you can use keyboard
macros ;)

Best,
Ihor

Yeah I ended up using a macro and search for CLOCK text but this
solution is much cleaner
