insert result of ruby

Anyone know if there is a way to run a small bit of ruby and insert the
result into the current buffer?

I wanted to do something like this, but get the output into the buffer
rather than the command window:

:ruby require 'date'; puts Date.today

This should get you started:

:help r!

Assuming you have a vim built with +ruby:

:ruby <<EOF
def insert_string (str)
    buf = VIM::Buffer.current
    win = VIM::Window.current
    buf.append(win.cursor[0], str)
end
EOF

:ruby require 'date'; insert_string( Date.today.to_s )

HTH,
