Problem changing datetime format

[reed]

I am trying to format some datetimes like this...2007, February the
9th, 6:30pm

I have the following which gets me part way there.

ActiveSupport::CoreExtensions::Time::Conversions:ATE_FORMATS.updatemy_date_format
=> "%Y, %d %B, %I:%M%p")

There are 2 problems
1. There is no "th" formatter so that I get 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th,
etc.
2. PM is in uppercase and I would prefer it in lower.

TIA

Roll your own a bit:

http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/Inflector.html#M001091
(part of ActiveSupport)

Just .downcase the AM/PM

You're asking on the Ruby list, but you clearly have ActiveSupport.
If this is more of a Rails question, you may get more response on the
Rails list ([email protected]).
