Golang : How to get hour, minute, second from time?
Problem :
You have unix timestamp or time stamp in string format. You want to convert the unix timestamps from string to time.Time
type and get the hour, minute and second. How to do that?
Solutions :
Use time.Unix()
, time.Parse()
and time.Time.Clock()
functions.
Example 1 - convert Unix time :
package main
import (
"fmt"
"os"
"strconv"
"time"
)
func main() {
unixTimeStamp := "1432572732"
unixIntValue, err := strconv.ParseInt(unixTimeStamp, 10, 64)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
os.Exit(1)
}
timeStamp := time.Unix(unixIntValue, 0)
//fmt.Println(timeStamp)
hr, min, sec := timeStamp.Clock()
fmt.Printf("Clock : [%d]hour : [%d]minutes : [%d] seconds \n", hr, min, sec)
}
Example 2 - convert time from string to time.Time :
package main
import (
"fmt"
"os"
"time"
)
func main() {
// convert time string to time.Time type
timeStampString := "Dec 29, 2014 at 7:54pm (SGT)"
layOut := "Jan 2, 2006 at 3:04pm (MST)"
timeStamp, err := time.Parse(layOut, timeStampString)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
os.Exit(1)
}
hr, min, sec := timeStamp.Clock()
fmt.Printf("Clock : [%d]hour : [%d]minutes : [%d] seconds \n", hr, min, sec)
}
