Converting to Date time

Is there an easy inbuilt method in ruby which converts "20130313T113000Z" to a ruby Date format?

Yes, DateTime::parse:

DateTime.parse("20130313T113000Z")
  => #<DateTime: 2013-03-13T11:30:00+00:00 ((2456365j,41400s,0n),+0s,2299161j)>

Or use Date.parse if you don't need the hours, minutes and seconds.
