hi brain,

i mean..

date1="November 5th, 2008, 10:30 am"
date2="November 7th, 2008, 6:00 pm"

i want only the working hours between 10:30 am to 6.00 pm,in these 
dates...

date can also be,

date1="March 5th, 2005, 5:30 am"
date2="November 7th, 2006, 9:00 pm"

all i need is working hours between these dates...

first day & last days time makes complications here.
