similar to: calculate users age

Hi, I wrote a little helper that calulates someone''s age based on his/her date of birth. def age(dob) diff = Date.today - dob age = (diff / 365.25).floor age.to_s end It works fine, but it''s not completely accurate as it just takes the average days in a year. It should be able to calculate this more accurately, right? I can''t work it out

Dear R Helpers, I am having difficulty with strptime. I wish to find the differences between two vectors of times. I have apparently no difficulty to convert the vectors to the appropriate format using strptime. But, then difftime does not calculate all the differences. Here is the code and output:- dob=strptime(as.character(datx$BDT),'%d-%b-%y'); dob$year=dob$year-100

when retreiving a date from a DATETIME field in a database, is there a way to set the date to the value of the DB in the view?

Hello All, I've been reading books about R for awhile now and am in the process of replicating the SAS analyses from an old report. I want to be sure that I can do all the things I need to in R before using it in my daily work. So far, I've managed to read in all my data and have done some data manipulation. I'm having trouble with fixing an error in a date variable though, and was

Hello, Is it possible to call a method in a controller with script/console or script/runner? -- Jonas Elfstr?m

Hi, I have this rails query: @birthdays = Birthday.find :all, :conditions => ["user_id = ? and birthdate = ''2006-02-01'', @user_id], :limit => @birthday_pages.items_per_page, :offset => @birthday_pages.current.offset You can ignore the user_id, limit and offset part.

I want my date fields to default to NIL or "", because the presence of a date means something. My problem is that rails is defaulting the fields to today''s date automatically when I create a new record through the scaffold. I tried removing the default ''0000-00-00'' and changing NOT NULL to NULL, but both columns get today''s date as the default

Dear RUsers, I guess this is an easy question for someone a little familiar with programming...(which I am not)... I've got 2 colummns, one shows just dates(SST_date, Class 'Date' num), the other one shows the SeaSurfaceTemperature (SST, num) at that certain date. SST_date SST 2008-01-01 22.2 2008-01-02 21.8 2008-01-03 22.8 2008-01-04 22.9 2008-01-05 23.1 2008-01-06 23.2 ...

I am using date_select and in some instances it only shows about 10 years worth of choices. Same form on other users shows the whole range. date_select looks like this <%= date_select ''user'',''birthdate'' , :start_year => 1940 %> I would expect to always see 1940-2006 or so , but i dont always do. Is there a way to force the range or explain why i

Hi, I wanted to calculate the age of people in my dataset by subtracting the individual's date of birth from their intake into a program. After several hours, searches of help archives, and the downloading of lubiridate, I have had no luck with this. Below is the code I used. > intakeDS$DOB <- as.character(intakeDS$DOB) > intakeDS$DOB <- as.Date(intakeDS$DOB,

Hello, I have some data that has dates in the form 27.02.37. I convert them to a date object as follows: as.Date(data$date,format="%d.%m.%y") But this gives me years such as 2037 when I would like them to be 1937. I thought of trying to take off some time i.e. as.Date(camCD$DoB,format="%d.%m.%y") - 100*365 But that doesn't seem to work out correctly. Any ideas how to

I am trying to determine how to perform a logical test to determine if a variable is an exact match for one of the string values in the array
