Subject: extract a range start/end?

if i have a list of dates in an array such as:

4/2/07
4/3/07
4/4/07
4/5/07
4/6/07
4/7/07
4/8/07
ect.

how would i..based on option parse..pull a starting point and end point
of to extract that data range.

IE:

opts = OptionParser.new do |opts|
 opts.on("-s", "--startdate", "What start date to use." do |i|
   #code to determine to use the starting date
end

# the same would apply to an --enddate

any ideas?

i was thinking i could possibly create a new range depending on what the
user input was by doing

require 'date'
results = []

(Date.new(2007,4,1)..Date.new(2007,4,8)).each {|r| res << r}
but then how would i match that against the original dates for the data?

feel free to give me any thoughts.

-Thanks
