[ruby] How do I get the current Date/time in DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM format?

How can I get the current date and time in DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM format and also increment the month?

For date:

#!/usr/bin/ruby -w

date = Time.new
#set 'date' equal to the current date/time. 

date = date.day.to_s + "/" + date.month.to_s + "/" + date.year.to_s
#Without this it will output 2015-01-10 11:33:05 +0000; this formats it to display DD/MM/YYYY

puts date
#output the date

The above will display, for example, 10/01/15

And for time

time = Time.new
#set 'time' equal to the current time. 

time = time.hour.to_s + ":" + time.min.to_s
#Without this it will output 2015-01-10 11:33:05 +0000; this formats it to display hour and           minute

puts time
#output the time

The above will display, for example, 11:33

Then to put it together, add to the end:

puts date + " " + time

require 'date'

current_time = DateTime.now

current_time.strftime "%d/%m/%Y %H:%M"
# => "14/09/2011 17:02"

current_time.next_month.strftime "%d/%m/%Y %H:%M"
# => "14/10/2011 17:02"

time = Time.now.to_s

time = DateTime.parse(time).strftime("%d/%m/%Y %H:%M")

for increment decrement month use << >> operators

examples

datetime_month_before = DateTime.parse(time) << 1



datetime_month_before = DateTime.now << 1
