I just played with this a bit, and there just isn't a nice way to deal with 3 parts using divmod. <br/> <br/>So, I wrote a quick method called divmodd that can split the number by multiple divisors: <br/> <br/># this is excellent for time-formatting <br/># and, it's a 1-liner without the definition stuff <br/>class Fixnum <br/> def divmodd(*nums) <br/> nums.inject([self]){|a,n| a.shift.divmod(n) + a} <br/> end <br/>end <br/> <br/>#Now I can do it! <br/>format('PT%02dH%02dM%02dS', *d.divmodd(60, 60)) Mon, 11 Feb 2008 15:19:11 -0500 http://railsloft.com/posts/elegant-non-standard-time-formatting http://railsloft.com/posts/elegant-non-standard-time-formatting-comment-7 <a href="http://agilepartners.com" rel="nofollow">Phil Matarese</a> says:<br/>While reading attachment_fu code, I just found out you can use % on a string as a call to format. Like this: <br/> <br/>'PT%02dM%02dS' % duration.divmod(60) Mon, 17 Mar 2008 16:24:22 -0400 http://railsloft.com/posts/elegant-non-standard-time-formatting http://railsloft.com/posts/elegant-non-standard-time-formatting-comment-9
