Hi all,
So, I'm trying to find out the best practice for converting a time
format from the following:
"3:00 PM"
"10:00 PM"
"1:00 AM"
TO:
"15:00:00"
"22:00:00"
"01:00:00"
Can anyone help me out on what I need to do here? I'm pulling strings
that need to be parsed and converted from > to the listings above.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

gem install chronic
Chronic.parse("3:00 PM").strftime('%H:%M:%S')
=> "15:00:00"
Does this work?

Oops.
$ gem install chronic
$ irb
> require 'chronic'
> Chronic.parse("3:00 PM").strftime('%H:%M:%S')
=> "15:00:00"

The standard library 'time' parses this too:
require 'time'
puts Time.parse("3:00 PM").strftime('%H:%M:%S')
=> 15:00:00

Don't need a gem, the 'time' package from the standard library will do:
require 'time'
new = Time.parse(old).strftime("%T")
