Time from seconds.

Hi

I was just wondering if anyone can think of a simpler way of doing the following:

def number_to_time(seconds)   seconds = seconds.to_i   if seconds > 1.hours     hours = seconds / 1.hour     hours = "0#{hours}" if hours < 10     seconds = seconds % 1.hour   else     hours = "00"   end   if seconds > 1.minute     minutes = seconds / 1.minute     minutes = "0#{minutes}" if minutes < 10     seconds = (seconds % 1.minute).to_s.sub('.0', '')   else     minutes = "00"   end   return "#{hours}:#{minutes}:#{seconds}" rescue   nil end

Thanks, Toby

How about

def number_to_time(seconds)

[seconds/3600, seconds/60 % 60, seconds % 60].map{|t| t.to_s.rjust(2,‘0’)}.join(‘:’)

end

Best regards

How about:

  Time.at(seconds).utc.strftime("%H:%M:%S")
