Hi,
I need to determine how many business hours left to some Time. Do you
know any library with this feature?

Not sure what you mean by "business hours", but if it is the same a
regular hour, and you have an end time (5 PM, for example) you can
simply subtract the two time objects. For example:
time_left = Time.parse("17:00") - Time.now
If "business hours" means something special, please explain.

From
http://www.rubyinside.com/3-new-date-and-time-libraries-for-rubyists-3238.html
business_time - Time and date offsets based on "business time/hours"
business_time is a new library that works with the concept of "business
time" or "business hours." Rather than just letting you perform operations
on dates by absolute numbers of days or hours, you can now work with
business days and hours of your own definition. business_time depends
heavily on Active Support.
To install:
gem install business_time
Note: business_time depends on Active Support (gem: activesupport)
To use:
require 'active_support'
require 'business_time'
# Examples "from now"
4.business_hours.from_now
5.business_days.from_now
# Using user supplied dates
my_birthday = Date.parse("August 4th, 2010")
10.business_days.before(my_birthday)
# Add a day to not count as a business day
BusinessTime::Config.holidays << my_birthday
# Overlapping days are OK
6.business_hours.after(Time.parse("August 3rd, 3:00pm"))

It means this. For example, there is
GitHub - bokmann/business_time: Support for doing time math in business hours and days but I need somethink like
Time.now.business_time_left_to(Time.parse("Aug 5 2010, 9:35 am"))
and it should returns how many business hours and minutes left.
Or I will fork business_time gem.
