Ruby datetime

Hello,

I have two time objects:

# 2 days ago
time1 = Time.now - 48 * 3600

#=> Sun Jun 21 16:56:33 +0530 2009

time2 = Time.now
#=> Tue Jun 23 16:57:05 +0530 2009

I need to create a third time object which will have the date from time2
and the time from time1.

time3 should be:

#=> Tue Jun 23 16:56:33 +0530 2009

The issue I am facing is how do I extract the date and time to create
the third time.

Any suggestion would be welcome.

Thanks
Sriram.

time3 = time1 + 48 * 3600

(Although I think if you let us know *why* you need
these dates, a simpler solution would be possible.)

time3 = Time.local(time2.year, time2.month, time2.mday, time1.hour,
time1.min, time1. sec, time1.usec)

time3 = Time.at(time2.to_i/86400*86400+time1.to_f%86400)
