and still going crazy…
I have tried everything I can think of…
interval
=> 1
dinc
=> “year”
interval.to_s + “.” + dinc
=> “1.year”
test = Time.now + (interval.to_s + “.” + dinc)
TypeError: no implicit conversion to float from string
from (irb):263:in `+’
from (irb):263
from :0
crap…that doesn’t work, nor does this…
(interv.to_s + “.” + dinc).to_f
=> 1.0
I have to have ‘interval’ be a number that I can increment while I test
it and ‘dinc’ to be the value (i.e., month, year) and reconstitute them.
How does one do this?

I suppose the key here is understanding that year/month etc… are
just methods on the integers, so
interval = 1
inc = ‘year’
test = Time.now + interval.year
test = Time.now + interval.send(inc)

bing!
Thanks, I don’t know that I would have ever figured this out by myself.
