Can anyone give a suggestion so that i can able to format the date as like this 3th - 5th June 2009 --
require 'date'
=>
Date::MONTHNAMES
=> [nil, "January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"]
myformat = lambda {|date| "%s %s %d"%[date.mday.ordinalize,
Date::MONTHNAMES[date.month], date.year] } => #<Proc:0x00007ff7862efcb8@(irb):7>
myformat[Date.today]
=> "21st April 2009"
That ought to be enough of a suggestion! Note that this is inside a Rails console so if you did this in plain Ruby, you'd have to require 'rubygems' and require 'activesupport' to get Fixnum#ordinalize
