Extract Timestamp from ULID

See more ULID/UUID Examples

Extract the date/time from a ULID.

Important: Chilkat's ULID functionality was introduced in v9.5.0.94.

Unicode C++

#include <CkDateTimeW.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

    const wchar_t *ulid = L"01GRH14AA82EY9A7S99YYF2QDY";

    CkDateTimeW dt;

    // Unix timestamps stored in ULIDs should be UTC...
    bool bLocal = false;
    // Set the CkDateTime from the timestamp contained in the ULID
    success = dt.SetFromUlid(bLocal,ulid);
    if (success == false) {
        wprintf(L"ULID was not valid.\n");
        return;
    }

    // You can now get the date/time in any desired format.
    // For example:
    wprintf(L"Unix timestamp = %u\n",dt.GetAsUnixTime(bLocal));
    wprintf(L"RFC822 = %s\n",dt.getAsRfc822(bLocal));
    wprintf(L"Timestamp = %s\n",dt.getAsTimestamp(bLocal));

    // Sample output:

    // Unix timestamp = 1675608861
    // RFC822 = Sun, 05 Feb 2023 14:54:21 GMT
    // Timestamp = 2023-02-05T14:54:21Z
