strptime(date, format, now=self.now)

public

Parses date using Date._strptime and converts it to a Time object.

If a block is given, the year described in date is converted by the block. For example:

Time.strptime(...) {|y| y < 100 ? (y >= 69 ? y + 1900 : y + 2000) : y}

# File lib/time.rb, line 281
    def strptime(date, format, now=self.now)
      d = Date._strptime(date, format)
      raise ArgumentError, "invalid strptime format - `#{format}'" unless d
      if seconds = d[:seconds]
        Time.at(seconds)
      else
        year = d[:year]
        year = yield(year) if year && block_given?
        make_time(year, d[:mon], d[:mday], d[:hour], d[:min], d[:sec], d[:sec_fraction], d[:zone], now)
      end
    end
