Ruby中处理时间的一些基本操作

 获取当前日期和时间:

以下是一个简单的例子，以获得当前的日期和时间：

#!/usr/bin/ruby -wtime1 = Time.newputs "Current Time : " + time1.inspect# Time.now is a synonym:time2 = Time.nowputs "Current Time : " + time2.inspect

这将产生以下结果：

Current Time : Mon Jun 02 12:02:39 -0700 2008Current Time : Mon Jun 02 12:02:39 -0700 2008

获取组件的日期和时间：

我们可以用 Time  对象来获取日期和时间的各个组成部分。下面的例子显示相同的：

#!/usr/bin/ruby -wtime = Time.new# Components of a Timeputs "Current Time : " + time.inspectputs time.year  # => Year of the date puts time.month  # => Month of the date (1 to 12)puts time.day   # => Day of the date (1 to 31 )puts time.wday  # => 0: Day of week: 0 is Sundayputs time.yday  # => 365: Day of yearputs time.hour  # => 23: 24-hour clockputs time.min   # => 59puts time.sec   # => 59puts time.usec  # => 999999: microsecondsputs time.zone  # => "UTC": timezone name

这将产生以下结果：

Current Time : Mon Jun 02 12:03:08 -0700 200820086211541238247476UTC

Time.utc，Time.gm和Time.local函数：

可用于这两个函数以标准格式来格式化日期如下：

# July 8, 2008Time.local(2008, 7, 8) # July 8, 2008, 09:10am, local timeTime.local(2008, 7, 8, 9, 10)  # July 8, 2008, 09:10 UTCTime.utc(2008, 7, 8, 9, 10) # July 8, 2008, 09:10:11 GMT (same as UTC)Time.gm(2008, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11) 

下面的例子，在一个数组来获取所有组件按以下格式：

[sec,min,hour,day,month,year,wday,yday,isdst,zone]

尝试以下操作：

#!/usr/bin/ruby -wtime = Time.newvalues = time.to_ap values

这将产生以下结果：

[26, 10, 12, 2, 6, 2008, 1, 154, false, "MST"]

这个数组可以传递给Time.utc或Time.local函数得到不同的日期格式如下：

#!/usr/bin/ruby -wtime = Time.newvalues = time.to_aputs Time.utc(*values)

这将产生以下结果：

Mon Jun 02 12:15:36 UTC 2008

跟随着的方式来获得内部表示（依赖于平台）历元以来的秒数时间：

# Returns number of seconds since epochtime = Time.now.to_i # Convert number of seconds into Time object.Time.at(time)# Returns second since epoch which includes microsecondstime = Time.now.to_f

时区和夏令时：

可以使用一个 Time 对象来获取相关的所有信息的时区和夏令如下：

time = Time.new# Here is the interpretationtime.zone    # => "UTC": return the timezonetime.utc_offset # => 0: UTC is 0 seconds offset from UTCtime.zone    # => "PST" (or whatever your timezone is)time.isdst   # => false: If UTC does not have DST.time.utc?    # => true: if t is in UTC time zonetime.localtime # Convert to local timezone.time.gmtime   # Convert back to UTC.time.getlocal  # Return a new Time object in local zonetime.getutc   # Return a new Time object in UTC
