Subject: Re: Uptime Since... (#174)

And my try at this:

coeff = [60,3600]; i = 0; offset = 0
s = %x{uptime}
coeff.push 86400 if s =~ /day/

s.scan(/\d+/) do      #I don't know how to stop scanning when I've had 
enough ^^;;
  |text|
  i = i + 1
  offset = offset + text.to_i*(coeff.pop||0) if (3..5) === i
  end

puts (Time.now - offset).strftime("System booted at %H:%M of %A, %B %d 
(%Y)")



(I don't know anything about regexp, and it shows)
