[Boost-users] [date_time] extract date from string using a list of patterns

I'm looking to take a string and convert it to a date.  The only problem 
is the string can be one of many patterns. i.e. ("%Y%m%d", "%Y-%m-%d", 
"%d/%m/%Y", etc...).  It is also possible that the given string will 
fail all pattern matches, and thus return false.

Can anyone give me an example of how to do this?  I know you need to use 
the date_input_facet, but I am VERY new to boost and can't get it to work.

Thanks!
