Subject: [ruby-core:110769] [Ruby master Misc#19098] Time#strftime: %z and width

Message-ID: <redmine.journal-100112.20221115154322.13553@ruby-lang.org> (raw)

Issue #19098 has been updated by andrykonchin (Andrew Konchin).


I have checked on MacOS Monterey and Debian 11 (bullseye) (in Docker, if it matters) and received the same results like mentioned in the description.

----------------------------------------
Misc #19098: Time#strftime: %z and width
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19098#change-100112

* Author: andrykonchin (Andrew Konchin)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
----------------------------------------
It seems `%z` behaves in some surprising way when it is combined with a width - sign `+` is placed at the beginning of the result string:

```ruby
Time.now.strftime("%10z")
=> "+000000200"

Time.now.strftime("%_10z")
=> "      +200"
```

It seems a time zone offset is treated as a number. It probably makes sense with default format but it looks strange with `:` separators:

```ruby
Time.now.strftime("%10::z")
# => "+002:00:00"
```

So I would expect that `%z` directive output to be treated as a non-numerical and padded by default with spaces.
