Thread: datetime string to seconds error

"

Code:

time_t epoch;
struct tm tm;

if (strptime("2011-10-23 08:46:10", "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", &tm) != NULL)  {
  epoch = mktime(&tm);
} else {
    // Handle error
}

printf("seconds since the Epoch: %ld\n", (long) epoch);

I want to convert the string "2011-10-23 08:46:10" to seconds. Why am I getting this error with this code. warning: comparison between pointer and integer [enabled by default] for line

Code:

if (strptime("2011-10-23 08:46:10", "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", &tm) != NULL)  {."

You may have to put the following define before your any of your include files

Code:

#define _XOPEN_SOURCE

in order to use this function.

That solved it. Thanks
