I'm trying to get input facets working for dates and times using time_input_facet.

(Boost 1.33.1 on RHEL5; upgrading is not an option at the moment)

std::stringstream ss; ss.str("Feb 28 16:22:11 2009"); time_input_facet* tf = new time_input_facet("%b %e %H:%M:%S %Y"); ss.imbue(std::locale(std::locale::classic(), tf)); ss.exceptions(std::ios_base::failbit);

ptime z; ss >> z;

std::cout<< z << std::endl;

This throws an exception - Parse failed. No match found for ''

Replace %e with %d and try "%b %d %H:%M:%S %Y". Boris
