Hi,
it''s seems to me the function Time.parse has an error:
ok - Time.parse("12/01/2008") => 2008-12-01
Error - Time.parse("01.12.2008") => 2008-01-12
Or is there an option/timezone I have to chnage, so it will work
correctly?
Greetings Claus-Christian Ude

Ok, some more details:> it''s seems to me the function Time.parse has an error: > > ok - Time.parse("12/01/2008") => 2008-12-01 > Error - Time.parse("01.12.2008") => 2008-01-12 >Time.parse("01.12.2008") => 2008-12-01 whould be correct. I found already the function _parse in lib/ruby/1.8/date/format.rb. But before I change in this file, must be really sure, there is no other solution. mfg -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
Ok, I have the solution. Here I correct the wrong function of
Date.parse:
class Date
class << self
alias :oldparse :_parse
def _parse(str, comp=false)
if str =~ /(\d{1,2})\.(\d{1,2})\.(\d\d\d\d)\ (\d{1,2})\:(\d\d)/
e = Format::Bag.new
e.mday = $1.to_i
e.mon = $2.to_i
e.year = $3.to_i
e.hour = $4.to_i
e.min = $5.to_i
return e.to_hash
end
if str =~ /(\d{1,2})\.(\d{1,2})\.(\d\d\d\d)/
e = Format::Bag.new
e.mday = $1.to_i
e.mon = $2.to_i
e.year = $3.to_i
return e.to_hash
end
oldparse(str, comp)
end
end
end

If you are expecting dates in a particular format strptime is useful, if not some sort of calendary widget is often a better idea.
