And it returns a range of 2012.
Actually it returns a span of 1 second :-) I was assuming your original example worked, but it doesn't. And I haven't worked with Chronic much, so I'm not sure if that argument is even something it's expected to handle. For example this works fine: ruby-1.9.2-p290 :007 > result = Chronic.parse('last year', :guess => false) => 2011-01-01 00:00:00 -0800..2012-01-01 00:00:00 -0800 ruby-1.9.2-p290 :008 > result.class => Chronic::Span ruby-1.9.2-p290 :009 > result.width => 31536000 while this obviously doesn't: ruby-1.9.2-p290 :010 > result = Chronic.parse(1/1/2011 - 1/1/2012, :guess => false) => 2012-01-01 12:00:00 -0800..2012-01-01 12:00:01 -0800 ruby-1.9.2-p290 :011 > result.class => Chronic::Span ruby-1.9.2-p290 :012 > result.width => 1 ruby-1.9.2-p290 :013 > Time to jump into the gem source, I think :-) -- Hassan Schroeder ------------------------ hassan.schroe...@gmail.com http://about.me/hassanschroeder twitter: @hassan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
