date-time string to boost::gregorian::date

I have the following std::string '2010-08-10T23:59:00' and I need to convert it to a boost::gregorian::date object.

I know I should use boost::date_time::date_input_facet, but I just cannot seem to figure out how to do it.

Can someone please assist me as to how to do this conversion?

boost's posix_time module supports a direct conversion from that form (which unless I'm confused is the ISO time format?). Take a look at:

boost::posix_time::from_iso_string

You just need to strip the formatting marks first.

posix_time::time_from_string

may work for you as well.

You should them be able to convert the posix_time into gregorian.

Hope this helps.
