Hi,
Date.parse("28/03/2008") gives me an error?
I get:
ArgumentError: invalid date.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Versions:
Ruby 1.8.6
Rails 2.0.2

but that's not the format I get the data in

Any ideas?

That would work, but so would this:
Date.strptime('28/03/2008', '%d/%m/%Y')

excellent thanks,
You'd think Ruby would provide some internationalisation type way of solving
this? (e.g. specifying your location/country or something). Guess not?

Hello,
Unfortunately for me, the solution by Ray doesn't seem to work too. For
instance I'm doing this..
dateStr = params[:startdate].to_s
logger.info "date - " + dateStr
startdate =Date.strptime(dateStr, '%m/%d/%Y').to_s
and though I get the string quite correctly as
date - 05/16/2008
I end up getting the ArgumentError - invalid date. Please let me know if
I am doing anything incorrect here.
Regards,
Shankar.

Doesn't look like it.
Date.strptime("05/16/2008", '%m/%d/%Y').to_s
works for me.

Does it have anything to do with the version of Ruby/Rails ? I'm using
Rails 1.1.6 and Ruby 1.8.4. Another wierd thing about this is
dateStr.to_time works while dateStr.to_date again gives me the same
exception.
