Recurring::Schedule by Chris Anderson http://recurring.rubyforge.org

== DESCRIPTION:

Recurring allows you to define Schedules, which can tell you whether or not a given Time falls in the Schedule, as well as being able to return a list of times which match the Schedule within a given range.

Schedules can be like:

• Every Tuesday at 5pm
• The 1st and 15th of every other month
• Every 2 hours
• The first Friday of every month at 11:15am and 4:45:15pm

= See more examples at Recurring::Schedule documentation

This Schedule will match every Tuesday at 5pm

@rs = Recurring::Schedule.new :unit => 'weeks', :weekdays => 'tuesday', :times => '5pm'
@rs.include?(Time.utc(2006,12,12,17)) #=> true
@rs.include?(Time.utc(2006,12,13,17)) #=> false
