I'm trying to parse an Unix timestamp but I get out of range error. That doesn't really makes sense to me, because the layout is correct (as in the Go docs):
package main
import "fmt"
import "time"
func main() {
tm, err := time.Parse("1136239445", "1405544146")
if err != nil{
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(tm)
}
The time.Parse
function does not do Unix timestamps. Instead you can use strconv.ParseInt
to parse the string to int64
and create the timestamp with time.Unix
:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"time"
"strconv"
)
func main() {
i, err := strconv.ParseInt("1405544146", 10, 64)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
tm := time.Unix(i, 0)
fmt.Println(tm)
}
Output:
2014-07-16 20:55:46 +0000 UTC

Edit:
Changed from strconv.Atoi
to strconv.ParseInt
to avoid int overflows on 32 bit systems.
