irb(main):001:0> time = Time.now.strftime("%d-%m-%Y")
=> "05-10-2005"
Haven't tried with year as "yyy" though. Did you mean "yyyy"? That is %Y
(year with century). The two digit (year with no century) is %y.
This page should help: http://phrogz.net/ProgrammingRuby/ref_c_time.html
Look up "strftime" for formatting.
