将字符串转换为时间并在golang中解析

Question

I'm reading a timestamp from a file, and I assign the value to t:

t := "2016-11-02 19:23:05.503705739 +0000 UTC"

When I attempt to parse the string:

time, err := time.Parse("2016-11-02 19:18:57.149197306 +0000 UTC", t)

The result is:

0001-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 UTC

But I expected result to be:

"2016-11-02 19:18:57.149197306 +0000 UTC" ?

Please advise.

Answer 1

You're not correctly providing the layout argument to Parse. You're supposed to be using Mon Jan 2 15:04:05 MST 2006 (this is magic value, you put create a string in the format you want but with that date) in the given format so in your case, it would be 2006-01-02 15:04:05.000000000 +0000 UTC plus the offset which I don't know off the top of my head for MST.
