Finding dates that match certain criteria

Rails
1

Hi,

I’m wondering if there is a freely available implementation for finding
dates that match certain criteria, like you can do in Outlook to set up
meetings: http://jonathan.viney.net.nz/appointment_recurrence.png

What I’m looking for is something that will save me from having to do
all
the tedious date calculations. Ideally, some sort of module that you
could
pass restrictions into (eg: 3rd wednesday of every 2nd month), and get
back
a list of dates that fit the criteria. Is there anything available that
will
do this, or do I have to start from scratch?

Thanks,
-Jonathan.

a set of extended date routines would be awesome but I’ve not gotten
traction when I’ve asked.

You probably want to look at datebocks engine as there is some really
great stuff there - but it’s javascript for view templates but that may
be what you are looking for.
