accessing system time

[Dissonance]

I'm adding a feature to my project that displays "This Save File was last loaded on (date) at (time)" but I can't figure out a way to access system time.

Can anybody give me a hand?

To display the time string (where _timevalue_ is a time value returned from File#mtime):

time=Time.at(timevalue)
string=sprintf("This save file was last loaded on %s at %s",
  time.strftime("%B %d, %Y"),time.strftime("%I:%M %p"))

This example uses methods from the Time class.  Some examples:

• Time.now returns the current time.
• Time.at(X) returns a Time object given the file time X (returned from File#mtime).
• Time.strftime(formatstring) formats a Time object.  See the RPG Maker XP help file for details.
