Instance Method Detail
parsedate(str, comp=false)
Parse a string representation of a date into values. For example:
require 'parsedate' ParseDate.parsedate "Tuesday, July 5th, 2007, 18:35:20 UTC" # => [2007, 7, 5, 18, 35, 20, "UTC", 2]
The order is of the form [year, month, day of month, hour, minute, second, timezone, day of week].
ParseDate.parsedate can also take a second argument, comp, which is a boolean telling the method to compensate for dates with years expressed as two digits. Example:
require 'parsedate' ParseDate.parsedate "Mon Dec 25 00 06:53:24 UTC", true # => [2000, 12, 25, 6, 53, 24, "UTC", 1]
