By default when Laravel creates a post it stores the date and time stamp as:
2019-01-31 23:32:06
How can I show it in the view as - Jan 31st, 2018 11:32pm?
U can use Php Carbon in modifying date. eg.
$dt = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s.u', '2019-02-01 03:45:27.612584');
// $dt->toAtomString() is the same as $dt->format(DateTime::ATOM);
echo $dt->toAtomString(); // 2019-02-01T03:45:27+00:00
echo $dt->toCookieString(); // Friday, 01-Feb-2019 03:45:27 UTC
echo $dt->toIso8601String(); // 2019-02-01T03:45:27+00:00
// Be aware we chose to use the full-extended format of the ISO 8601 norm
// Natively, DateTime::ISO8601 format is not compatible with ISO-8601 as it
// is explained here in the PHP documentation:
// https://php.net/manual/class.datetime.php#datetime.constants.iso8601
// We consider it as a PHP mistake and chose not to provide method for this
// format, but you still can use it this way:
echo $dt->format(DateTime::ISO8601); // 2019-02-01T03:45:27+0000
echo $dt->toISOString(); // 2019-02-01T03:45:27.612584Z
echo $dt->toJSON(); // 2019-02-01T03:45:27.612584Z
echo $dt->toIso8601ZuluString(); // 2019-02-01T03:45:27Z
echo $dt->toDateTimeLocalString(); // 2019-02-01T03:45:27
echo $dt->toRfc822String(); // Fri, 01 Feb 19 03:45:27 +0000
echo $dt->toRfc850String(); // Friday, 01-Feb-19 03:45:27 UTC
echo $dt->toRfc1036String(); // Fri, 01 Feb 19 03:45:27 +0000
echo $dt->toRfc1123String(); // Fri, 01 Feb 2019 03:45:27 +0000
echo $dt->toRfc2822String(); // Fri, 01 Feb 2019 03:45:27 +0000
echo $dt->toRfc3339String(); // 2019-02-01T03:45:27+00:00
echo $dt->toRfc7231String(); // Fri, 01 Feb 2019 03:45:27 GMT
echo $dt->toRssString(); // Fri, 01 Feb 2019 03:45:27 +0000
echo $dt->toW3cString(); // 2019-02-01T03:45:27+00:00
Kindly read more about Php Carbon
You can use Carbon in laravel.
First, use carbon:
use Carbon\Carbon;
Then use the format you want, in your case, it would be like this:
public function test()
{
$dt = User::find(1);
return $dt->created_at->format('M jS\\, Y h:i:s A'); //Dec 1st, 1975 02:15:16 PM
}
You can also use it in your view, just use carbon at the top of your file:
<?php use Carbon\Carbon;?>
then change the format in your display like {{$dt->created_at->format('M jS\\, Y h:i:s A')}}
Your input is 2018-01-31 23:32:06.
Your expected output is Jan 31st, 2018 11:32pm.
I have created a function:
function convertToPreferedDateFormat($dateString='')
{
$toTimeString = strtotime($dateString);
$yourExpectedFormat = 'M dS, Y h:ia';
// $prettyBeautifullWay = 'l jS \of F Y h:i:s A';
return date($yourExpectedFormat, $toTimeString);
}
Then now testing
$timeString = '2018-01-31 23:32:06';
$expectedOutput = 'Jan 31st, 2018 11:32pm';
echo convertToPreferedDateFormat($timeString);
echo "<br>";
echo $expectedOutput;
I have an example like this in Rspec:
describe "#parse" do
context "when disposition date is present" do
it "parses data" do
expect(#practice.parse[0]).to match_array [ nil, "502011TR053942AXXXNB", Date.parse("2011-02-23") ]
end
end
end
The date that is generated into the array is generated like this:
Date.strptime(date.strftime("%m/%d/%Y"), "%m/%d/%Y")
So it is a Date object.
However, Rspec fails:
Failure/Error:
expect(#practice.parse[0]).to match_array [
nil, "502011TR053942AXXXNB", Date.parse("2011-02-23") ]
expected collection contained: [nil, "502011TR053942AXXXNB", Wed, 23
Feb 2011 ]
It says it expected "Wed, 23 Feb 2011". But isn't this just a to_s called on the Date object? How should I handle this?
Write it:
expect(#practice.parse[0]).to match_array [ nil, "502011TR053942AXXXNB", Date.parse("2011-02-23").strftime("%a, %d %b %Y") ]
Read the directives from here.
~$ ruby -e 'require "date";puts Date.parse("2011-02-23").strftime("%a, %d %b %Y")'
# => Wed, 23 Feb 2011
We are trying to convert the output received from the below code
The current output is in this form
testingwindows,1446727960,1446728560,kkulka11,testingwin
testingwindows1,1446727160,141228560,kkulka11,testingwin

testingwindows3,1446727960,1446728560,kkulka11,testingwin
The output required is something like
testingwindows from Fri Oct 3 13:51:05 2015 GMT to Mon Nov 9 13:51:05 2015 GMT by kkulka11 for testingwin.
testingwindows1 from Fri Oct 2 13:51:05 2015 GMT to Mon Nov 9 13:51:05 2015 GMT by kkulka11 for testingwin.
testingwindows2 from Fri Oct 2 13:51:05 2015 GMT to Mon Nov 9 13:51:05 2015 GMT by kkulka11 for testingwin.

This is my current code
if ( $COMMAND eq 'queryone' ) {
my $msend_query = "$MCELL_HOME\\bin\\mquery";
my #args_query = (
$msend_query,
"-q",
"-c", "$MCELL_HOME\\etc\\mclient.conf",
"-n", "$CS_BLACKOUT_CELL",
"-d",
"-f", "csv",
"-a", "CS_EMB_GBF_BLACKOUTS" ,
"-s", "blackout_host,start_timestamp,stop_timestamp,userid,reason",
"-w", "blackout_host: == '${BLACKOUTHOST}'"
);
system(#args_query);
We tried using perl -pe 's/(\d{10})/gmtime($1)/e'; but not able to convert and it gives this error
'o~}go⌂⌂t⌂x⌂w' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
when we used the code as
if ( $COMMAND eq 'queryone' ) {
my $msend_query = "$MCELL_HOME\\bin\\mquery";
my $mqt = "$MCELL_HOME\\mqt.pl";
my #args_query = (
$msend_query,
"-q",
"-c", "$MCELL_HOME\\etc\\mclient.conf",
"-n", "$CS_BLACKOUT_CELL",
"-d",
"-f", "csv",
"-a", "CS_EMB_GBF_BLACKOUTS",
"-s", "blackout_host,start_timestamp,stop_timestamp,userid,reason",
"-w", "blackout_host: == '${BLACKOUTHOST}'"
) | $mqt;
system(#args_query);
Needed experts quick help and guidance to achieve the output in human-readable format.
Edit:
Updated the code as per Jacob comments but still not received the output as desired. Please suggest
if ( $COMMAND eq 'queryone' ) {
my $msend_query = "$MCELL_HOME\\bin\\mquery";
my #args_query = (
$msend_query,
"-q",
"-c", "$MCELL_HOME\\etc\\mclient.conf",
"-n", "$CS_BLACKOUT_CELL",
"-d",
"-f", "csv",
"-a", "CS_EMB_GBF_BLACKOUTS" ,
"-s", "blackout_host,start_timestamp,stop_timestamp,userid,reason",
"-w", "blackout_host: == '${BLACKOUTHOST}'"
);
chomp;
my #parts = split(/,/, system(#args_query));
$parts[1] = localtime($parts[1]);
$parts[2] = localtime($parts[2]);
printf("%s from %s to %s by %s for %s\n", #parts);
}

Edit: based on your most recent update to the question, I now believe that you're trying to capture the output of the command and process it. Since you haven't provided a minimal, complete, and verifiable example, and because I have no idea what mquery is and you haven't provided an explanation for that, either, I present to you this guess:
if ($COMMAND eq 'queryone') {
my #lines = `$MCELL_HOME\\bin\\mquery -q -c $MCELL_HOME\\etc\\mclient.conf -n $CS_BLACKOUT_CELL -d -f csv -a CS_EMB_GBF_BLACKOUTS -s blackout_host,start_timestamp,stop_timestamp,userid,reason -w blackout_host: == '${BLACKOUTHOST}'`;
for (#lines) {
chomp;
my #parts = split(/,/, $_);
$parts[1] = localtime($parts[1]);
$parts[2] = localtime($parts[2]);
printf("%s from %s to %s by %s for %s\n", #parts);
}
}
My app time_zone is set to UTC(default, I didn't change it in config/application.rb).
This is what I see in rails console
1.9.3p194 :004 > Time.now
=> 2014-03-20 14:45:23 -0500
1.9.3p194 :005 > 1.day.ago
=> Wed, 19 Mar 2014 19:45:48 UTC +00:00
Why do I get the time in central when I do Time.now? It should return time in UTC like 1.day.ago
Time.now uses the locale of the machine it is running on. For consistency, you can do Time.now.utc to force UTC:
1.9.3-p484 :001 > Time.now
2014-03-20 16:14:23 -0400
1.9.3-p484 :002 > Time.now.utc
2014-03-20 20:14:26 UTC
use Time.zone.now - it will take into account your application's time zone:
project with default TZ:
2.0.0-p353 :001 > Time.now
=> 2014-04-01 23:12:06 +0300
2.0.0-p353 :002 > Time.zone.now
=> Tue, 01 Apr 2014 20:12:11 UTC +00:00
2.0.0-p353 :003 >
project with custom TZ:
2.1.0 :001 > Time.now
=> 2014-04-01 23:14:23 +0300
2.1.0 :002 > Time.zone.now
=> Tue, 01 Apr 2014 22:14:27 CEST +02:00
2.1.0 :003 >
Here you'll find more useful info about working with timezones (especially take a look at DOs and DONTs section):
http://www.elabs.se/blog/36-working-with-time-zones-in-ruby-on-rails
I'm here on Ubuntu 12.04, and I can see:
$ cat /etc/timezone
America/Phoenix
Accordingly Time will return a time with a non-UTC zone:
$ irb
> Time.now
=> 2013-03-27 13:44:49 -0700
> Time.at 0
=> 1969-12-31 17:00:00 -0700
I can override the system time zone using the TZ environment variable:
$ TZ=UTC irb
> Time.now
=> 2013-03-27 20:47:19 +0000
> Time.at 0
=> 1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000
Is there anyway I can make this change programmatically, within a Ruby process?
You can also set environment variables from within ruby by accessing the ENV hash:
ENV['TZ'] = 'UTC'
Time.at 0
#=> 1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000
also see this answer: Set time zone offset in Ruby, It provides a way to write something like
with_time_zone 'UTC' do
# do stuff
end
# now TZ is reset to system standard
You can use Time#gmtime. For example
Time.now
# => Wed Mar 27 16:55:11 -0400 2013
Time.now.gmtime
# => Wed Mar 27 20:55:14 UTC 2013
Time.at(0)
# => Wed Dec 31 19:00:00 -0500 1969
Time.at(0).gmtime
# => Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 UTC 1970
Time#utc also works and is an alias for Time#gmtime
Depending on the use case, ActiveSupport offers a lot of TimeZone related goodness.
$ gem install activesupport
$ irb
> require 'active_support/time' # => true
> Time.zone = 'Pacific Time (US & Canada)' # => "Pacific Time (US & Canada)"
> Time.zone.now # => Wed, 27 Mar 2013 16:14:19 PDT -07:00
ActiveSupport may be a larger dependency than you want, but you shouldn't overlook it.
