Iterating through Dates in Rails

Question

I'm writing a method that iterates using dates given a start and end date, and I need to the date within the loop. Something like this:

start_date = 2013/03/12
end_date = 2013/11/20

# from start_date to end_date do |f|
  puts date_this_iteration_is_processing
end

Can someone please help me with this?

I've read these questions, but they didn't indicate how to determine the date that the given iteration is on.

Answer 1

is this what you are looking for? use the range operator ..

start_date = Date.parse('2013-03-12')
end_date = Date.parse('2013-11-20')

(start_date..end_date).each do |day|
  puts day
end
