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 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]
# File parsedate.rb, line 46 def parsedate(str, comp=false) Date._parse(str, comp). values_at(:year, :mon, :mday, :hour, :min, :sec, :zone, :wday) end
