Rails - Apr 2006 - Array of dates/times from time.now till nextweek

Hi,

I would like to make @dates in my controller.
I tried the following:

startdate = Time.now
enddate = startdate.next_week
for enddate > startdate
   @dates << startdate
   startdate = startdate.tomorrow
end

But I get an errormessage when I check the syntax:
"warning: useless use of a variable in void context"

Anyone?

Thanks!

Steven.

Still fairly newbish on rails but have you tried turning them into date 
objects (to_date). Also depending on how it''s being used could you 
always make a range:
(startdate.to_date..enddate.to_date)

or even turn this into an array

(startdate.to_date..enddate.to_date).to_a

So i think (working this out as I go along) you could prob do

@dates = (Time.now.to_date..Time.now.next_week.to_date).to_a

which seems to work.

Hope this helps
