Scan from string into Timestamp

[eberaud]

A part of my code converts a time stamp into a string. Another part will have to read this string and convert it back to a time stamp. However, when I run this quick example I've created, I get an error. Does anybody know what I'm missing?

 

Thanks

Try with a four digit year instead '%Y'.  Just a guess.

It worked, thanks! I guess a 2-digit year is not enough information to reconstitute a full absolute TS...

I'm sure you have it in a specific format, but if you want to go with the ISO standard for having time as a string.

Just spend a full hour reading about ISO 8601, UTC, the earth's rotation that is slowing down, and leap seconds. Thanks for this super interesting reading
