Question : How to subtract times in Ruby    03/03/09 18:55:14   -   03/03/09 18:54:57

I have an app that needs to figure out the minutes a process takes and the log file looks something like this:

03/03/09 18:54:57 nsrd: savegroup info: starting    _STD_INCR_FILERS (with 2 client(s))
03/03/09 18:55:14 nsrd: savegroup info: starting    _STD_INCR (with 75 client(s))

I would like to do it in ruby.

now instead of puts date_s - date_e do

yada = date_e - date_s
puts (yada.to_f * 24).floor.to_s + " hours"
puts (yada.to_f * 24  * 60).modulo(60).floor.to_s + " minutes"
puts (yada.to_f * 24  * 60 * 60).modulo(60).floor.to_s + " seconds"
