Im wondering if it is possible to turn a string with a month name such as: "July 20, 2008" directly into a date object using strptime. If this is not possible am I going to have to write my own function to do this? I was thinking I could have and array with all the months and shuffle through it to get the month number and then use that to create a date object.

Date.strptime("July 20, 2008", "%b %d, %Y")
