irb> myformat[Date.today]
=> “21st April 2009”
That ought to be enough of a suggestion! Note that this is inside a
Rails console so if you did this in plain Ruby, you’d have to require
‘rubygems’ and require ‘activesupport’ to get Fixnum#ordinalize

Or you could use Date.today.strftime(“%d %m %Y”), though you wouldn’t
get the extension (‘st’). Use a simple case statement on the last digit
if you can’t or won’t use ActiveSupport.
