Date/time conversion: string representation to time_t [closed]

Answer 1

    static time_t MKTimestamp(int year, int month, int day, int hour, int min, int sec)
{
    time_t rawtime;
    struct tm * timeinfo;

    time ( &rawtime );
    timeinfo = gmtime ( &rawtime );
    timeinfo->tm_year = year-1900 ;
    timeinfo->tm_mon = month-1;
    timeinfo->tm_mday = day;
    timeinfo->tm_hour = hour;
    timeinfo->tm_min = min;
    timeinfo->tm_sec = sec;
    timeinfo->tm_isdst = 0; // disable daylight saving time

    time_t ret = mktime ( timeinfo );

    return ret;
}

 static time_t GetDateTime(const std::string pstr)
{
    try 
    {
        // yyyy-mm-dd
        int m, d, y, h, min;
        std::istringstream istr (pstr);

        istr >> y;
        istr.ignore();
        istr >> m;
        istr.ignore();
        istr >> d;
        istr.ignore();
        istr >> h;
        istr.ignore();
        istr >> min;
        time_t t;

        t=MKTimestamp(y,m,d,h-1,min,0);
        return t;
    }
    catch(...)
    {

    }
