13 | #
|
---|
14 | # require 'parsedate'
|
---|
15 | #
|
---|
16 | # ParseDate.parsedate "Tuesday, July 6th, 2007, 18:35:20 UTC"

|
---|
20 | # timezone, day of the week].

|
---|
38 | # is a boolean telling the method to compensate for dates with years
|

39 | # expressed as two digits. Example:
|
---|
40 | #
|
---|
41 | # require 'parsedate'
|
---|
42 | #
|

43 | # ParseDate.parsedate "Mon Dec 25 00 06:53:24 UTC", true
