[fxruby-users] to get the system date / time?

[jkinsella at ancillaryservices.com]

I'm not 100% sure, but you should be able to just do:

require 'time'

my_date = Date.now
my_time = Time.now

Have you got

require 'date'

in your header section?

I have this in one of my non FX scripts:

Today = (DateTime.now).to_s.slice( 0, 10 ).tr( '-', ' ' )

to get the year, month and day.
