Converting YYYY/MM/DD String to Unix Timestamp?

Hi,

I tried to find it in the learning section and via google, but I couldn't find how to convert a YYYY/MM/DD string to unix timestamp?

Unfortunately, I just get this time input in this string format and want to convert it to the unix time for further processing.

Could you please help me here and/or point me to the part, where I see how to do that?

Thank you in advance,

Andreas

The Time library will do it for you.
