I was hoping it would output: 2:46:40 Cool, unfortunately, it doesn’t work if I have an expression where I started with a number of seconds for example if I stated with 10000 seconds.

time = Time.at(10000).gmtime.strftime(“”%l:%M”") => 2:46 which is incorrect. I was hoping it would output: 2:46:40

Yup, that's right - an upper case 'P'. Go figure! Lower case am/pm is achieved with %P.

Also: %p Locale's equivalent of either a.m. or p.m. I'm not sure if that's lower case by default in any English locale, though. Personally I like leading zeroes and the twentyfour hour clock.
