Hi, what is the recommended way to parse times with short timezone abbreviations, such as "16:00 CET", in Qt 5 / KF5 land? (I am asking because this is the format the BBC is using for weather observation times in their RSS files.)
In kdelibs 4, this should do what we want: dateTime = KDateTime::fromString(timeString, "%H:%M %Z").toLocalZone().dateTime(); but KDateTime is deprecated in KF5. I looked at: * QDateTime, but neither of the 2 QDateTime::fromString overloads in Qt 5.2 support the needed format, at least according to the documentation. The one that takes a string does not support time zones (or so the documentation says), the one that takes an enum entry does not support the required format either. * QTimeZone, but I cannot find a straightforward (documented) way to get a QTimeZone from only the short abbreviation. I guess one could go through all the availableTimeZoneIds and checking if the abbreviation matches, but that won't necessarily give the expected (most probable) result (especially if the abbreviation is not unique), will it?
