Question

I am looking at

http://corelib.rubyonrails.org/classes/Time.html#M000245

how can I get two digit hour and minutes from a time object

Lets say I do

t = Time.now

t.hour // this returns 7 I want to get 07 instead of just 7

same for

t.min //  // this returns 3 I want to get 03 instead of just 3

Thanks

How about using String.format (%) operator? Like this:

x = '%02d' % t.hour
puts x               # prints 07 if t.hour equals 7
