So as in the title, I'm trying to format a date in dd_mm_yy format using time.Now().Format("02_01_2006") as shown in this playground session:
http://play.golang.org/p/alAj-OcRZt
First problem, dd_mm_yyyy isn't an acceptable format, only dd_mm_yy is, which is fine I can manipulate the returned string myself.
The problem I have for you is to help me figure out what Go is even trying to do with this input.
You should notice the result you get is:
10_1110009
A good few thousand years off and it's lost the underscore which it only does it for _2. Does this character sequence represent something special here?
Replacing the last underscore with a hyphen or space returns a valid result. dd_mm_yy works fine. Just this particular case seems to completely fly off the handle.
On my local machine (Go playground is on a specific date) the result for today (the 5th) is:
05_01 5016
Which is equally strange, if not moreso as it's substituted in a space which seems to be an ANSIC thing.
