Calls the block with specified dates; returns self.
-
The first
dateisself. -
Each successive
dateisdate + step, wherestepis the numeric step size in days. -
The last date is the last one that is before or equal to
limit, which should be a Date object.
Example:
Example
limit = Date.new(2001, 12, 31) Date.new(2001).step(limit){|date| p date.to_s if date.mday == 31 }
Output:
Example
"2001-01-31" "2001-03-31" "2001-05-31" "2001-07-31" "2001-08-31" "2001-10-31" "2001-12-31"
Returns an Enumerator if no block is given.
