This does not work:

logdate = "#{@calendar1.year}-" + (@calendar1.month + 1).to_s +
"-#{@calendar1.day}"
#output is: 2007-07-30

puts "Getting log for #{logdate}"
File.open("rdpconnect.log").each do |line|
if line.match(logdatepattern)
puts line
end
end


However, this does:

logdate = "2007-07-30"
puts "Getting log for #{logdate}"
File.open("rdpconnect.log").each do |line|
if line.match(logdatepattern)
puts line
end
end



Any ideas or hints appreciated!

Isn't "2007-7-30"?

What is logdatepattern, and what is its relation to logdate?

Yes, it logdate is returned as a string.

logdate = "#{@calendar1.year}-" + (@calendar1.month + 1).to_s +
"-#{@calendar1.day}"
puts "logdate is: #{logdate}"

will return:
logdate is: 2007-7-24

Apologies, I tried to pear down the post and left that out accidentally.

I had also tried:

logdatepattern = logdate

and

logdatepattern = logdate.to_s

Here is the original post, fixed:

This does not work:

logdate = "#{@calendar1.year}-" + (@calendar1.month + 1).to_s +
"-#{@calendar1.day}"

puts "Getting log for #{logdate}"
File.open("rdpconnect.log").each do |line|
if line.match(logdate)
puts line
end
end


However, this does:

logdate = "2007-07-30"
puts "Getting log for #{logdate}"
File.open("rdpconnect.log").each do |line|
if line.match(logdate)
puts line
end
end


The format of logdate appears the same in both instances. What am I
missing?

Thanks,

I don't know what @calendar1 is, so I can't reproduce this, but I
thought what Nobu meant when he replied to you is to say that the value
of that line contains 3 zeros, while the string you fed it contains 4.

You guys are geniuses! Thanks Nobu & Dan Z!

I feel SO dumb now.

Thanks!

You might also look at using Time#strftime to get your string:

>> t = Time.local(2007,7,30)
=> Mon Jul 30 00:00:00 -0500 2007
>> t.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')
=> "2007-07-30"

Good call, I ended up with this:

logdate = "#{@calendar1.year}-" + (@calendar1.month + 1).to_s +
"-#{@calendar1.day}"
> => "2007-7-30"
logdate = Date.parse(logdate).to_s

Would Time#strftime be better?

Easier to read, I think. Or if you're using a Date object, you could
use Date#strftime. It also looks like you're adding a month to
@calendar1, which is easy with a Date object:

>> d1 = Date.civil(2007,06,30)
=> #<Date: 4908563/2,0,2299161>

>> d1.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')
=> "2007-06-30"

>> d2 = d1 >> 1
=> #<Date: 4908623/2,0,2299161>

>> d2.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')
=> "2007-07-30"
