ruby - Parse time with strptime using Time.zone -


i trying parse datetime time class in ruby 2.0. can't figure out how parse date , in specified timezone. have used time.zone.parse parse date first call time.zone , set specified timezone. in below example, set zone not effect strptime, have tried doing time.zone.parse(date) can't parse date 1 below.

time.zone = "central time (us & canada)" #=> "central time (us & canada)" irb(main):086:0> time.strptime("08/26/2013 03:30 pm","%m/%d/%y %i:%m %p") #=> 2013-08-26 15:30:00 -0400 

time.zone isn’t part of ruby, it’s part of activesupport (which included rails). such, strptime not know time.zone @ all. can, however, convert normal ruby time activesupport::timewithzone using in_time_zone, uses time.zone’s value default:

require 'active_support/core_ext/time' time.zone = 'central time (us & canada)'  time = time.strptime('08/26/2013 03:30 pm', '%m/%d/%y %i:%m %p') #=> 2013-08-26 15:30:00 -0400 time.in_time_zone #=> mon, 26 aug 2013 14:30:00 cdt -05:00
