[Boost-users] boost::posix_time::ptime - Parsing time - clarification

Hi,
  I was going through the API to parse a date-time
field. I came across the boost library regarding the
same.

#include "boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time.hpp"

using namespace boost::posix_time;
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>

using std::cout;

int main() {
         std::string ts("2002-01-20 23:59:59.000");
        ptime t(time_from_string(ts));

        cout << to_simple_string(t);
        return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

This example compiled fine and gave me the right
results. But suppose if I have another date
representation as follows. 

06 Dec 2004 10:40:58.000

If I enter the same string and try to parse from it,
the method time_from_string aborts. I was wondering if
there is any way I can tell time_from_string the
format and try to parse from it.
