So if you want to convert your own time string to Time object, <br />DateTime.strptime(&quot;12/25/2007 01:00 AM EST&quot;, &quot;%m/%d/%Y %I:%M %p %Z&quot;).<b>utc</b>.to_time<br />should be used. <b>utc</b> and <b>to_time</b> are defined in &#39;actionsupport&#39; module.Yuri Rumegahttp://rumega.myopenid.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11933937.post-23864779324048703292008-09-29T06:15:00.000-05:002008-09-29T06:15:00.000-05:00How about '2008-09-29 16:42:23.234'<BR/>The last three digits are milliseconds.
