I use the command line [http://sup.rubyforge.org/ sup] email program which
is written in ruby. While I don't run it under MacRuby, I was checking an
issue which came up on the mailing list about the "%P" formatter for
strftime and tested it in MacRuby too. The "%P" should output either "am"
or "pm" in lower case.
Apparently most (all?) 1.8.7 rubys on OS X, don't support the "%P"
formatting, which is not required. Most linux 1.8.7 rubys do support it
though.
MacRuby also does not support it. However it is required for 1.9. The ruby
docs for Time list it for example:
http://ruby-doc.org/core-1.9/classes/Time.html#M000314
Here's an example:
{{{
$ macruby --version
MacRuby version 0.5 (ruby 1.9.0) [universal-darwin10.0, x86_64]
$ macruby -e 'puts Time.now().strftime("%l:%M%P")'
11:25P
}}}
That should output "11:25pm"
I didn't check any of the other format strings.
