String#to_time

Converts a string to a Time value.
The +form+ can be either :utc or :local (default :local).

The time is parsed using Time.parse method.
If +form+ is :local, then the time is in the system timezone.
If the date part is missing then the current date is used and if
the time part is missing then it is assumed to be 00:00:00.

  "13-12-2012".to_time               # => 2012-12-13 00:00:00 +0100
  "06:12".to_time                    # => 2012-12-13 06:12:00 +0100
  "2012-12-13 06:12".to_time         # => 2012-12-13 06:12:00 +0100
  "2012-12-13T06:12".to_time         # => 2012-12-13 06:12:00 +0100
  "2012-12-13T06:12".to_time(:utc)   # => 2012-12-13 05:12:00 UTC
  "12/13/2012".to_time               # => ArgumentError: argument out of range
