FAQ
Hi all,

I got a requirement where i should send mail to user based on the time
they set to deliver the mail.

In my user table i have notification time which will be saved as
1,2,3,4,5... for options that they select.

Now I have the following options-

Daily 10Am
Daily 3pm
Weekly Monday 2PM.

So please help me on how to get these values date and time using ruby.

    Have you *tried* using an Internet search engine? What results did you
    get that failed to help you achieve your goal?

    I just Googled "ruby date time parse string" and got hundreds of
    results that looked like they would address your problem :-/

    As far as I can see, Time does not respond to ".split"

    My Dear Friend,

    Here is the executed code for time
    irb(main):001:0> t=Time.now
    => Fri Jan 20 14:47:46 +0530 2012
    irb(main):002:0> t=t.to_s
    => "Fri Jan 20 14:47:46 +0530 2012"
    irb(main):003:0> t.split(" ")
    => ["Fri", "Jan", "20", "14:47:46", "+0530", "2012"]
    irb(main):004:0> t.split(" ")[3]
    => "14:47:46"

    So you've added a ".to_s" that you didn't mention before... ;-)

    But wouldn't it be easier to do :
    Time.now.strftime("%T")
    ?

    But either way, you're not addressing the OP, as that was regarding
    turning String into Time, not Time to String.

    You really should try stuff like this before you post it:
    $ rails c
    Loading development environment (Rails 3.0.5)
    ruby-1.8.7-p302 > str=10 am
    SyntaxError: compile error
    (irb):1: syntax error, unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting $end
    from (irb):1
    ruby-1.8.7-p302 >

    Colin
    t=Time.parse(str)
    t.split(" ")[3]
