Hi,
I have a few dates coming from the datebase in the format ‘DD-MM-YYYY’
How can I change this in to a more human readable format?
such as 1st July 2006
Thanks
Scott

See Time#strftime.
Just in case you haven’t got it bookmarked yet, you can see
Time#strftime
(and a lot of other Ruby you’re going to have questions about) at:
http://www.rubycentral.com/book/ref_c_time.html
The search capabilities at rubycentral have been a source of motivation
for
some and there are sites that offer the same content with additional
capabilities. A couple are (and there are others)
http://www.ruby.ch/en/rubybookonline.shtml
http://www.ruby-doc.org/docs/ProgrammingRuby/
I find these and other sites more helpful after having bought the book
itself, and still very often just grab the book when I’m thinking
through
how to tackle a challenge.

thanks for the links, totally new to ruby, so they should come in useful
After a bit of reading I have managed to get this to work
<%date = Time.now %>
<%= date.strftime("%d %B %Y") %>
the Value @pMin = yyyy-mm-dd eg 2006-06-06
how can I put this in to a time obeject to use the strftime function
with it?
Thanks

I think you’ll find what you want at http://api.rubyonrails.org in the
ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Conversions module.
