Ok, I have a string like:
2011-03-02T15:30:00+01:00

I need to convert it in a SysTime object.

My problem is that from documentation I can't understand how to set +01:00 timezone on systime. I guess I'm missing something...

As far as I know, you can't do that.

Quote from the documentation:
"""
Unlike DateTime, the time zone is an integral part of SysTime (though for local time applications, time zones can
"""

It does make sense, right? SysTime is object representing your system's time, and naturally it already has timezone set to the right (system) value.

But SysTime has a c-tor that accepts a TimeZone, how can I set that?
Anyway, If i'm not wrong, it's the only object with TimeZone support, isn't it?

So, you want to take the string "2011-03-02T15:30:00+01:00" and create a SysTime from it? Well, that's the extended ISO format, so just use SysTime.fromISOExtString. e.g.

auto st = SysTime.fromISOExtString("2011-03-02T15:30:00+01:00");

You'll get a SysTime with the appropriate value for stdTime (in UTC), and it'll have a SimpleTimeZone with a UTC offset of +1 hours. And if you want that to then be in a different time zone, you can then convert it to other time zones via toUTC, toLocalTime, or toOtherTZ (or by just setting its time zone if you want to mutate it rather than getting a new value).

That's perfect. I didn't notice that static method. My fault!

Also, if you need to parse other formats: https://github.com/JackStouffer/date-parser#simple-example
