How to create custom Time with month and day name
Hello, Im using Timex lib in order to create custom time which I need. for example I need something like this:
"Mon, 29 Oct 2018 23:38:55 +0330"
and I did this like this:
iran_now_time = Timex.now("Iran")
"Mon, #{iran_now_time.day} Oct #{iran_now_time.year} #{iran_now_time.hour}:#{iran_now_time.minute}:#{iran_now_time.second} #{iran_now_time.zone_abbr}"
As you see, I did not successful to create month and day name ( day name of the Week = Mon and month name = Oct ). I wrote these like hard code right now.
how can I do these two things ?
Thanks

In :timex’ documentation. It’s a bit hidden though.
I already linked to the documentation of Timex.format/2. There we can find the following paragraph:
See Timex.Format.DateTime.Formatters.Default or Timex.Format.DateTime.Formatters.Strftime for documentation on the syntax supported by those formatters.
Sadly, both module names are neither formatted as code nor are they hyperlinked. So its a bit hard to spot. Using the left navigation, we can find them manually:
There are more formatters, which may have a different syntax than these.

Have you checked Timex.format/2?
I have no project available using :timex, but your requirement should be roughly achievable by the following format string: {WDshort}, {D} {Mshort} {YYYY} {h24]:{0m}:{0s} {Z}.
But to be honest, Just stick to one of the {ISO:*} variants and teach the world to read proper dates.

Why not just use Timex.format/2,3 instead? String munging sounds painful for that… o.O
