Making the string returned by Time.now look nicer

Ruby
1

Newbie programmer here. I get this string when I call Time.now:

2012-03-18T23:40:44+01:00

How can I replace the T with a space and remove everything after 23:40
so that it looks like this?:

2012-03-18 23:40

You shouldn’t. The to_s method is meant to show all data of the time
object (including the time zone, milliseconds etc.). If you want to get
a certain time format, use the strftime method:

now = Time.now
puts now.strftime(‘%Y-%m-%d %H:%M’)
