- To find the next five Mondays and Fridays:
DateFinderBase.weekly.day(:monday).day(:friday).find(:max => 5)- To find the 10th of the month for the next five months:
DateFinderBase.monthly.day_number(10).find(:max => 5)- To find the last Thursday in September for the next 3 years
DateFinderBase.yearly.month (:september).day(:thursday).day_occurrence(:last).find(:max => 3)- To find the next 5 Wednesdays on a fortnightly basis (skips every second week):
DateFinderBase.weekly(2).day(:wednesday).find(:max => 5)To install, execute script/plugin install http://svn.viney.net.nz/things/rails/plugins/date_finder.
Thanks, Jonathan.
