How to get day or month from date in Rails?

Question

Ruby on Rails

I store date of format dd.mm.yyyy in the table of String format.
Am I doing the right thing?
And if so, then I want to display the day, month or year from a specific date.
How can I do that?

Answer 1

Sorry, after this question ( Judging by the questions in the Rails topic, people just don't read manuals? ) I'm ashamed to read in the mail that they ask me to help, as an expert in this matter :) Have you
tried searching here ?

Answer 2

date = Time.now
date.day ==> day
date.month ==> month
And so on. It's all in the docs ;)

Answer 3

and the questions have really gone down to idiotic ones and are googled with the first request.
