Is there a simple way to get a Ruby Date object from a unsigned int32 number representing the number of seconds since January 1st 1970?

Regards,

Herman

Time.at( Time.now.to_i )

…where you substitute Time.now.to_i with your Fixnum

But if you want a Date object you might end up saying

require ‘date’

…

myNumber = 9987653
date = Date.new(*Time.at(myNumber).to_a[3 … 5].reverse)

date.to_s # => “1970-04-26”

There must be a nicer way to do it…

Hope this helps,

Mike
