Mie, 02 Ago 2017 17:33:00 -0300.

Your code would be `DateTime.strptime('20170802173300','%Y%m%d%H%M%S').strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')` – knut Aug 02 '17 at 20:58

You can use strftime:

datetime = 'Mie, 02 Ago 2017 17:33:00 -0300'
datetime.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%m:%S %z')
# => 2017-08-02 17:33:00

You can format time anyway you like, in Ruby with strftime.

For format you want it'll be like this:

%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %z

For example: Time.now.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %z')

require 'date'
date = '20170802173300'
formatted_date = DateTime.parse(date).to_s
# => "2017-08-02T17:33:00+00:00"

# and to be more explicit:
really_formated_date = DateTime.parse(date).strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z')
# => "2017-08-02 17:33:00 +00:00"

Date now = new Date(); SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yy");
