Hi misiek,
you can use strftime.
For example:
t = Time.now
puts t.strftime("%a") #=> Mon
puts t.strftime("%A") #=> Monday
ri strftime, will give you the complete list of options.
Cheers,
Antonio

What do you mean by "ri strftime"? How do I get a complete list?

More correctly "ri Time#strftime", for all methods see "ri Time".
