.parse(date, now = self.now)
Takes a string representation of a Time
and attempts to parse it using a heuristic.
require 'time'
Time.parse("2010-10-31") #=> 2010-10-31 00:00:00 -0500
Any missing pieces of the date are inferred based on the current date.
require 'time'
# assuming the current date is "2011-10-31"
Time.parse("12:00") #=> 2011-10-31 12:00:00 -0500
We can change the date used to infer our missing elements by passing a second object that responds to #mon
, #day
and #year
, such as Date, Time
or DateTime. We can also use our own object.
require 'time'
class MyDate
attr_reader :mon, :day, :year
def initialize(mon, day, year)
@mon, @day, @year = mon, day, year
end
end
d = Date.parse("2010-10-28")
t = Time.parse("2010-10-29")
dt = DateTime.parse("2010-10-30")
md = MyDate.new(10,31,2010)
Time.parse("12:00", d) #=> 2010-10-28 12:00:00 -0500
Time.parse("12:00", t) #=> 2010-10-29 12:00:00 -0500
Time.parse("12:00", dt) #=> 2010-10-30 12:00:00 -0500
Time.parse("12:00", md) #=> 2010-10-31 12:00:00 -0500
If a block is given, the year described in date
is converted by the block. This is specifically designed for handling two digit years. For example, if you wanted to treat all two digit years prior to 70 as the year 2000+ you could write this:
require 'time'
Time.parse("01-10-31") {|year| year + (year < 70 ? 2000 : 1900)}
#=> 2001-10-31 00:00:00 -0500
Time.parse("70-10-31") {|year| year + (year < 70 ? 2000 : 1900)}
#=> 1970-10-31 00:00:00 -0500
If the upper components of the given time are broken or missing, they are supplied with those of now
. For the lower components, the minimum values (1 or 0) are assumed if broken or missing. For example:
require 'time'
# Suppose it is "Thu Nov 29 14:33:20 2001" now and
# your time zone is EST which is GMT-5.
now = Time.parse("Thu Nov 29 14:33:20 2001")
Time.parse("16:30", now) #=> 2001-11-29 16:30:00 -0500
Time.parse("7/23", now) #=> 2001-07-23 00:00:00 -0500
Time.parse("Aug 31", now) #=> 2001-08-31 00:00:00 -0500
Time.parse("Aug 2000", now) #=> 2000-08-01 00:00:00 -0500
Since there are numerous conflicts among locally defined time zone abbreviations all over the world, this method is not intended to understand all of them. For example, the abbreviation “CST” is used variously as:
-06:00 in America/Chicago,
-05:00 in America/Havana,
+08:00 in Asia/Harbin,
+09:30 in Australia/Darwin,
+10:30 in Australia/Adelaide,
etc.
Based on this fact, this method only understands the time zone abbreviations described in RFC 822 and the system time zone, in the order named. (i.e. a definition in RFC 822 overrides the system time zone definition.) The system time zone is taken from Time.local(year, 1, 1).zone
and Time.local(year, 7, 1).zone
. If the extracted time zone abbreviation does not match any of them, it is ignored and the given time is regarded as a local time.
ArgumentError is raised if Date._parse
cannot extract information from date
or if the Time
class cannot represent specified date.
This method can be used as a fail-safe for other parsing methods as:
Time.rfc2822(date) rescue Time.parse(date)
Time.httpdate(date) rescue Time.parse(date)
Time.xmlschema(date) rescue Time.parse(date)
A failure of parse
should be checked, though.
You must require ‘time’ to use this method.

.rfc2822(date) Also known as: .rfc822
Parses date
as date-time defined by RFC 2822 and converts it to a Time
object. The format is identical to the date format defined by RFC 822 and updated by RFC 1123.
ArgumentError is raised if date
is not compliant with RFC 2822 or if the Time
class cannot represent specified date.

.strptime(date, format, now = self.now)
Works similar to .parse except that instead of using a heuristic to detect the format of the input string, you provide a second argument that describes the format of the string.
If a block is given, the year described in date
is converted by the block. For example:

Return the number of seconds the specified time zone differs from UTC.
Numeric time zones that include minutes, such as -10:00

will work, as will simpler hour-only time zones like -10
or +13
.
Textual time zones listed in ZoneOffset are also supported.
If the time zone does not match any of the above, zone_offset
will check if the local time zone (both with and without potential Daylight Saving Time changes being in effect) matches zone
. Specifying a value for year
will change the year used to find the local time zone.

#rfc2822 Also known as: #rfc822
Returns a string which represents the time as date-time defined by RFC 2822:
day-of-week, DD month-name CCYY hh:mm:ss zone
where zone is [+-]hhmm.
If self
is a UTC time, -0000 is used as zone.

#xmlschema(fraction_digits = 0) Also known as: #iso8601
Returns a string which represents the time as a dateTime defined by XML Schema:
CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssTZD
CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sssTZD
where TZD is Z or [+-]hh:mm.
If self is a UTC time, Z is used as TZD. [+-]hh:mm is used otherwise.
fractional_digits
specifies a number of digits to use for fractional seconds. Its default value is 0.
