- # = 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]
- #
