Creating a future date

Hi,

I am trying to get a date a year from today. I have got this which
gives me a day in advance

t = Time.now;t1 = t + 100000
p end_date = t1.localtime.strftime("%d/%m/%Y")


I have looked in 'The Ruby Way' and it provides a 'Converting Between
Seconds and Larger Units' method.

Surely there must be a better way?

How about this:
irb(main):001:0> t = Time.now
=> Mon Jun 05 11:57:01 PDT 2006
irb(main):002:0> t.year
=> 2006
irb(main):003:0> t.month
=> 6
irb(main):004:0> t.day
=> 5
irb(main):005:0> t = Time.local(t.year+1, t.month, t.day)
=> Tue Jun 05 00:00:00 PDT 2007

How about this:

d = Date::today >> 12
p d.to_s

------------------------------------------------------- Date#>>
>>(n)
---------------------------------------------------------------
Return a new Date object that is n months later than the current one.

If the day-of-the-month of the current Date is greater than the last
day of the target month, the day-of-the-month of the returned Date will
be the last day of the target month.

HTH,
Jim

That is a cool solution!
