This is a quick and easy script that will generate a list of dates for each workday over an interval. I use it to generate a list of dates for classes in a semester and keep track of the number of weeks in the semester

Dates

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'date'
dates=Array.new()
c = Date.new(2014,07,04)
b= Date.new(2014,06,02)
max_weeks= (c-b)/7.to_f
max_weeks=max_weeks.ceil
course_day=0
(c-b).to_int.times do |t|
	w_day= Date::DAYNAMES[(b+t).wday] 
	date_day=(b+t).day
	date_month=(b+t).month
	week=(t/7)+1
	unless w_day=="Saturday" or w_day=="Sunday"
	course_day+=1
	dates<<{"course_day"=>course_day,"weekday"=>w_day,"month"=>date_month,"date_day"=>date_day,"week"=>week}
	end
	end
File::open( 'my_dates'+ '.txt', 'w' ) do |f|
dates.each do |t|
f<< %{## Course Day: #{t["course_day"]} Week #{t["week"]} Date: #{t["month"]}-#{t["date_day"]} \
 Weekday: #{t["weekday"]}
Weeks Remining:#{max_weeks-t["week"]} Days Remaining: #{max_weeks*5-(t["course_day"]+1)}
\n\n}
end
end
