Rails - Sep 2006 - RMagick Question

The get_exif_by_number() method returns the date in a format different from
can be parsed by default rails string_to_date or parse() method.

Is there a helper that is readily available for this? -

# Load the file
>>  m_file = ImageList.new("DSC02465.JPG")
=> [DSC02465.JPG JPEG 1219x914 1219x914+0+0 DirectClass 8-bit 490kb] scene=0

# Get the datetime when the picture was taken
>> m_file.get_exif_by_number(36867)[36867]
=> "2005:10:04 06:31:31."

# Load into a table with datetime type by first converting it to
Time
>> ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::Column.string_to_date
(m_file.get_exif_by_number(36867)[36867])
=> nil

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Try ParseDate:

model.time = Time.mktime(ParseDate.parsedate(""2005:10:04
06:31:31"))
