I have this in one of my non FX scripts: Today = (DateTime.now).to_s.slice( 0, 10 ).tr( '-', ' ' ) to get the year, month and day.

Len,
Many thanks, two two others sent me similar pointers and i had taken it for granted that FXruby might have had it's own datetime handling routines - Doh light has since switched on Dave. --- On Wed, 26/8/09, Len Lawrence <lcl@...> wrote: > From: Len Lawrence <lcl@...> > Subject: Re: [fxruby-users] to get the system date / time? > To: fxruby-users@... > Received: Wednesday, 26 August, 2009, 12:33 AM > dave L wrote: > > I would like to be able to get the PC system date/time > as you can in ruby. > > > > not exactly sure why i'm not getting it currently! > > > > I'm doing this at the moment. > > > > mydate = Date > > mytime = Time > > > > these failed so added a .now and it still failed!!! > > > > looked at the fxruby Rdoc site and found no luck their > as yet (and > > googled)! > > > > dave. > > > > > > Email slow, clunky, unreliable?

Yes I have since found out from my 1st posting for help that I had to require date in and so time too.
Have a need also to split text from a FXList into other controls (allow data to be changed) and bashed my head as i thought i'd have to invent the wheel again not thinking about just requiring string to do the heavy lifting for me). So i have now been able to kill more birds with the one call for help. By the way have you played with foxGUI? I'm very much a noob with both ruby, FXruby and foxGUI. but making head way in 2 steps forward 1 back. many thanks for your relpy. Dave. PS sending this to you personnally as posting to list won't enlighten other anymore than what has been posted on my date/time question and reply to date, BUT I am interested in hearing back from you on the foxGUI as i'd like to get someone with more experiance to help me with some problems i have with it. --- On Thu, 27/8/09, jkinsella@... <jkinsella@...> wrote: > From: jkinsella@... <jkinsella@...> > Subject: Re: [fxruby-users] to get the system date / time? > To: fxruby-users@... > Received: Thursday, 27 August, 2009, 10:49 AM > I'm not 100% sure, but you should be > able to just do: > > require 'time' > > my_date = Date.now > my_time = Time.now > ------Original Message------ > From: Len Lawrence > Sender: fxruby-users-bounces@... > To: fxruby-users@... > ReplyTo: fxruby-users@... > Subject: Re: [fxruby-users] to get the system date / time? > Sent: Aug 25, 2009 8:33 AM > > dave L wrote: > > I would like to be able to get the PC system date/time > as you can in ruby. > > > > not exactly sure why i'm not getting it currently! > > > > I'm doing this at the moment. > > > > mydate = Date > > mytime = Time > > > > these failed so added a .now and it still failed!!! > > > > looked at the fxruby Rdoc site and found no luck their > as yet (and > > googled)! > > > > dave. > > > > > > Email slow, clunky, unreliable?

Good luck with the learning curve. I have been programming for 46 years but am still on the learning curve. Like you it is still 2 steps forward and 1 back, or even +3 -2.
