Works fine - datetime formats that are say "2009-06-30 17:30:00" will
show up as:
=> 05:30 PM
But if I change this to a 12-hour clock without the leading 0 using
schedule.date_scheduled.strftime(''%l:%M %p'')
=>
.. nothing..
If I''m not using the correct formatting string for a 12-hour clock
without the leading 0, which is the correct output?
Thanks.

The value in schedule.date_scheduled or what?

schedule.date_scheduled.strftime(''%I:%M %p'')
=> 05:30 PM
schedule.date_scheduled.strftime(''%l:%M %p'')
=> nothing...
.. it should equal
schedule.date_scheduled.strftime(''%l:%M %p'')
=> 5:30 PM
I''m trying to remove the leading 0 off the hours slot...

I had been looking at: http://www.nullislove.com/2007/05/16/time-for-strftime/ If you scroll down towards the bottom, there''s a very large table that contains the formats. I was trying to follow the one for 12-hour without the leading number. I guess this means I have to use gsub.. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

(use schedule.date_scheduled.class to find out) Colin

Maybe try the code in script/console, and continue adding stuff around your strftime(...) until you find the culprit. Regards, Felix
well the strange thing is I tried:
schedule.date_scheduled.strftime(''%I:%M
%p'').gsub(/0?(\d):/,''\1:'')
.. and it doesn''t remove the leading 0..
however.. if I go to the rails console
parse
=> "08:00 AM"
parse.gsub(/0?(\d):/,''\1:'')
=> "8:00 AM"
.. very strange and tested in all browsers so same behavior

NM..
This actually does work:
schedule.date_scheduled.strftime(''%I:%M
%p'').gsub(/0?(\d):/,''\1:'')
I had to place it in another place because I forgot I was looking for a
conditional. The %l does not work and it may just be ruby version
related. I''m sure that 1.9 came out with new time features and maybe
that''s part of them..

I already solved this using gsub.
But, just to follow-through with this - I''m not lying when I did my
checks:
irb(main):001:0> Time.now.strftime("%I:%M %p")
=> "12:57 PM"
irb(main):002:0> Time.now.strftime("%l:%M %p")
=> ""
irb(main):003:0>
l = lower case (l)ima (l)ime (l)azy (l)ucky..
Again, it does not compute with my IRB and I''m using:
ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) [i386-mswin32]
