These things are ofter locale dependant. My european brain expects day
month year, but apparently in the US month ,day, year is more common.
If you are expecting dates in a particular format strptime is useful,
if not some sort of calendary widget is often a better idea.

My brain does not seem to be working well today, I cannot actually see what
you are getting at. What would you expect the second one to give and why?

[Rails] Re: Time.parse seems to fail
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

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.
