Creating a DateTime object with Ruby

This example creates a date and time variable which represents 22nd March 2008 4:30pm and 12 seconds.

d2 = DateTime.new(y=200,m=3,d=22, h=16,min=30,s=12)

or convert a date string into a DataTime object:

"17/03/2009 17:48:00"[/(\d+)\/(\d+)\/(\d+)\s(\d+):(\d+):(\d+)/]
d2 = DateTime.new(y=$3.to_i,m=$2.to_i,d=$1.to_i, h=$4.to_i,min=$5.to_i,s=$6.to_i)

or convert a date string into a Time object:

"22/03/2008 17:48:00"[/(\d+)\/(\d+)\/(\d+)\s(\d+):(\d+):(\d+)/]
iyear = $3.to_i; imonth = $2.to_i; iday = $1.to_i; ihour = $4.to_i; imin = $5.to_i; isec = $6.to_i
twork = Time.local(iyear,imonth,iday,ihour,imin,isec) 
puts 'we still have time to party' if Time.now < twork
