Class template std::time_get encapsulates date and time parsing rules. The I/O manipulator std::get_time uses the std::time_get facet of the I/O stream's locale to convert text input to a std::tm object.

[edit] Type requirements

-
InputIt must meet the requirements of InputIterator.

[edit] Specializations

Two standalone (locale-independent) full specializations and two partial specializations are provided by the standard library:

Defined in header <locale>
std::time_get<char> parses narrow string representations of date and time
std::time_get<wchar_t> parses wide string representations of date and time
std::time_get<char, InputIt> parses narrow string representations of date and time using custom input iterator
std::time_get<wchar_t, InputIt> parses wide string representations of date and time using custom input iterator

In addition, every locale object constructed in a C++ program implements its own (locale-specific) versions of these specializations.

Type Definition
dateorder date order enumeration type, defining the values no_order, dmy, mdy, ymd, and ydm

[edit] Example

#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>
#include <locale>
#include <ctime>
#include <iomanip>
int main()
{
    std::wstring input = L"2011-Februar-18 23:12:34";
    std::tm t;
    std::wistringstream ss(input);
    ss.imbue(std::locale("de_DE"));
    ss >> std::get_time(&t, L"%Y-%b-%d %H:%M:%S"); // uses std::time_get<wchar_t>
    std::cout << std::asctime(&t);
}

Output:

Sun Feb 18 23:12:34 2011
