From: Todd Date: 2005-11-19T04:12:31+09:00 Subject: Re: Ordinal Date String to Standard Date String for a Beginner Oh, and strftime doesn't show up in the online RDoc documentation (http://www.ruby.org/core). Sometimes, stuff like this gets a little frustrating so I end up using .public_methods or .instance_methods to find out what's cooking underneath the hood. I understand keeping docs up to date for a relatively volatile language like Ruby is difficult. It does say at the top of the Date doc: See the documentation to the file date.rb for an overview. This is on the same page, upper left frame, called lib/date.rb. There are a couple examples there. ri doesn't work on my machine for some reason. I probably just have to reinstall it. Todd
