[julia-users] Convert datetime string that has AM/PM to datetime, without using Calendar.jl

[Ian Butterworth]

I current use Calendar.jl to convert a datetime that contains AM/PM to the 
datetime type like this:
datetime_string = "2015-08-12 12:01:23 PM"
timeout = unix2datetime(Calendar.parse(datetime_string, timein).millis/1000)

I'd like to do it without calendar.jl if possible.

Any ideas?
