I am trying to parse various date and time formats using the parseTime function found in (GHC 6.6.1) Data.Time.Format. The one that is giving me trouble looks like this:
2008-06-26T11:00:00.000-07:00
Specifically, the time zone offset isn't covered by the format parameters given. I can almost parse it with this:
%FT%X.000
But that doesn't take into account the "-07:00" bit. I'm sure this has been solved - can someone point me to the solution? Thanks in advance.
Try %z (see http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/time/Data- Time-Format.html#v%3AformatTime for all the format specifiers).
Is there anything in the parsedate library?

parsedate is obsolete, unless you have ghc < 6.6.1. It was rewritten to become what is now the date parsing code in the time package. /Björn
