Groovy: How to convert UTC time into integer?

Hello,

You have to parse your time stamp string to that, check : http://groovycookbook.org/basic_types/dates_times/ you get how to for this. In general your script could look like this:

import java.text.*
import java.util.*

def cal = Calendar.instance

def timeS = "2009-09-10 15:00:00"
Date d1 = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss").parse(timeS)
cal.setTime d1
println cal.getTimeInMillis()

let me know does it helps,
robert

Thanks Robert.
does your code sample take into account the letters "T" and "Z" in the time string?

Hello,

No. You should write your own date format:

new SimpleDateFormat("Date Format")
