today = Time.now
=> 2014-01-12 22:24:39 -0500
future = Time.parse("01-03-2014")
=> 2014-03-01 00:00:00 -0500
"%2.f" % ((future - today)/60/60/24)
=> 47
How else can I get 47 days without having to do /60/60/24 ?

You could compare two dates.
today = Date.today
future = Date.parse("01-03-2014")
days_diff = (future - today).to_i

That returns `4066457` ? You still have to do `(days_diff)/60/60/24` Which is what I am trying to avoid. (If possible) – MrPizzaFace Jan 13 '14 at 03:42

Yes I just caught on. And it returns 48 days. I did not notice the subtle difference. Ty! – MrPizzaFace Jan 13 '14 at 03:47
