# # = parsedate.rb: Parses dates # # Author:: Tadayoshi Funaba # Documentation:: Konrad Meyer # # ParseDate munches on a date and turns it into an array of values. # # # ParseDate converts a date into an array of values. # For example: # # require 'parsedate' # # ParseDate.parsedate "Tuesday, July 6th, 2007, 18:35:20 UTC" # # => [2007, 7, 6, 18, 35, 20, "UTC", 2] # # The order is of the form [year, month, day of month, hour, minute, second, # timezone, day of the week]. require 'date/format' module ParseDate # # 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] # def parsedate(str, comp=false) Date._parse(str, comp). values_at(:year, :mon, :mday, :hour, :min, :sec, :zone, :wday) end module_function :parsedate end
