Is there an easy way to convert Epoch time to standard format with Ruby? If so, can I customize the way it is displayed?
Use the Time.at method:
Time.at
Time.at(1234567890) #=> 2009-02-13 16:31:30 -0700
To display the time, you can use the strftime method for the resulting object.
strftime
For example:
Time.at(1234567890).strftime("%m/%d/%Y") #=> "02/13/2009"
