Hi Guys,
             I tried doing this, can anyone point out why it is not 
working

irb(main):003:0> today = Date.today
=> #<Date: 2012-10-05 ((2456206j,0s,0n),+0s,2299161j)>
irb(main):004:0> seven = (today - 7)
=> #<Date: 2012-09-28 ((2456199j,0s,0n),+0s,2299161j)>
irb(main):005:0> range = (today..seven)
=> #<Date: 2012-10-05 ((2456206j,0s,0n),+0s,2299161j)>..#<Date: 
2012-09-28 ((245
6199j,0s,0n),+0s,2299161j)>
irb(main):006:0> first_element = '04-OCT-2012 06:29:05'
=> "04-OCT-2012 06:29:05"
irb(main):007:0> top_date = Date.parse first_element
=> #<Date: 2012-10-04 ((2456205j,0s,0n),+0s,2299161j)>
irb(main):008:0> range.include? top_date
=> false

I was Expecting a TRUE here, cos '2012-10-04' falls between the range 
mentioned!!
