Hi,
I want to write a timestamp to a file, then read it in, and get a time
object again.
I’ve useusally done this with something like, epoch times
a Time.now
file.puts a.epoch
…
f = file.read
b = mktime(f)
but I can’t seem to find a native way of doing this.
is there?

Hi all,
This worked, not as pretty as I’d liked, but…
class Time
def stamp(filename)
fh = File.open(filename,“w+”)
fh.puts “#{self.to_a.inspect}”
fh.close
end
def Time.readStamp(filename)
fh = File.open(filename)
a = eval fh.readline
mktime(*a)
end
end
a = Time.now
a.stamp(“blah”)
p Time.readStamp(“blah”)

check out the parsedate module - it’s in the pickaxe.

Hi,
I want to write a timestamp to a file, then read it in, and get a time
object again.
I often use Time#to_i and Time.at.
a = Time.now
file.puts a.to_i
b = Time.at(file.gets.to_i)
When readability is prior to simpleness, Time#to_s and
Time.parse.
a = Time.now
file.puts a
require ‘time’
b = Time.at(file.gets)

Sorry, this should be `Time.parse(file.gets)', of course.

Hi and thank you.
Your previous worked just excellent 
[~]$ irb
irb(main):001:0> a = Time.now
=> Sat May 17 16:14:42 EDT 2003
irb(main):002:0> b = a.to_i
=> 1053202482
irb(main):003:0> c = Time.at b
=> Sat May 17 16:14:42 EDT 2003
