be omitted..

i did this code..

require 'time'
require 'date'
class Date
  def calc(date1,date2)

    d1=Time.parse(date1).strftime('%d').to_i
    m1=Time.parse(date1).strftime('%m').to_i
    y1=Time.parse(date1).strftime('%Y').to_i
    t1=Time.parse(date1).strftime('%H').to_i
    min1=Time.parse(date1).strftime('%M').to_i

    date1 = Date.new( y1, m1, d1 )

    d2=Time.parse(date2).strftime('%d').to_i
    m2=Time.parse(date2).strftime('%m').to_i
    y2=Time.parse(date2).strftime('%Y').to_i
    t2=Time.parse(date2).strftime('%H').to_i

    date2 = Date.new( y2, m2, d2 )
    weekdays = (date1..date2).reject { |d| [0,6].include? d.wday }
    w= weekdays.length
    working_hours=w*8
    puts "working hours = #{working_hours}"

  end
  end

  d=Date.new

Not sure what you mean. Do you mean (date2 - date1 + 1) * 8 ?

Use to_i on the answer if you don't want Rational arithmetic.

There's 8 hours between 9am-5pm, so 8 hour/working day.
There's 5 working day/week.

So if you can compute the number of weeks between the Monday following
the first date, and the Monday preceding the last date, you can easily
compute the number of working hours.

if week-of(start) = week-of(end) then
   working-hours = working-hours/working-day * working-days(from start to end)
else
   working-hours = working-hours/working-day * ( working-days(from start to end-of-week-after(start))
                                               + working-days(from beginning-of-week-before(end) to end)
                                               + working-days/working-weeks * working-weeks(from end-of-week-after(start)
                                                                                            to beginning-of-week-before(end)))
end

hi brain,

i mean..

date1="November 5th, 2008, 10:30 am"
date2="November 7th, 2008, 6:00 pm"

i want only the working hours between 10:30 am to 6.00 pm,in these
dates...

date can also be,

date1="March 5th, 2005, 5:30 am"
date2="November 7th, 2006, 9:00 pm"

all i need is working hours between these dates...

first day & last days time makes complications here.

If you have partial days, apply the same principle than in my previous
answer, trim off the partial days, compute the trimmed off hours, and
multiply the days by the working-hours-per-day.

if day(start)=day(end) then
  min(5pm,hour(end)) - max(9am,hour(start))
else
  (min(5pm,hour(end)) - 9am)
  + (5pm - max(9am,hour(start)))
  + previous algo with (start + 1day) and (end - 1 day)
end
