Hi,

Can anyone tell me how I can add 10 days to this date format please?

Time.now.localtime.strftime("%d-%b-%Y")

Thanks

SECONDS_PER_DAY = 60 * 60 * 24
(Time.now + 10*SECONDS_PER_DAY).localtime.strftime("%d-%b-%Y")

Ideally you want to do the date/time manipulations before converting
to a String. Otherwise you have to parse the string, do the date
manipulations, and convert back to a String.
