Is there an easy way to format date/time strings with ruby? I know in .Net
you can do something like this:
datetime.tostring("MM/dd/yy hh:mm tt") => 09/12/05 09:12 AM
Thanks,
Matt

You have to start thinking in a more unixy way -- ruby has its roots in the
unix / linux realm, so its methodologies will follow.
There is an strftime() method on a Time object. See the help docs for
formatting. Here''s how to output "On Jan 01, 2000 at 04:19
PM" (assuming
variable t is a time object containing that value):
<%= t.strftime("On %B %d, %Y at %I:%M %p") %>
