Convert a date/time into UTC

[ashleydw]

Hi

I am looking for a way to convert a date/time into UTC, is there a package for such as thing?

I have found https://github.com/bcampbell/fuzzytime which allows me to parse times, but no conversion of `Time`.

I'm new to go, so may be missing something already built in?

Thanks

Take a look at the "time" package.  Specifically, http://golang.org/pkg/time/#example_Parse and http://golang.org/pkg/time/#Time.UTC.

Thanks for the answers, can't believe i missed time.parse. However, it seems I can't get it to parse a timezone?: http://play.golang.org/p/cyjtYSFb4w

time.Parse expects the (fixed) reference time formatted according to
your scheme as its first parameter.

You need to use the reference time (Mon Jan 2 15:04:05 -0700 MST 2006).

For the layout you need to type the *reference time*. I can't write a good example right now, but the docs should be enough once the idea clicks. E.g. where you have 12:00:00 in the layout, you probably want 15:04:05
