Hi Thanks
i am doing this

#!/usr/bin/ruby
require 'rubygems'
require 'time'
expire_date =3D Date.parse("20130505172938Z") current_time =3D Time.now.utc

#puts expire_date
#puts current_time

def days_away(from, to)
=A0 ((to - from) / (60 * 60 * 24)).ceil
end

if days_away(current_time, expire_date) =3D=3D 3
=A0 puts "test"
end


but it giving me

/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/date.rb:1220:in `-': expected numeric or date
(TypeError)
=A0 from test.rb:11:in `days_away'
=A0 from test.rb:14


i tryed with .to_datetime but no luck
what is i am missing???
