Ruby Gem to Convert strings (parsable) into Range Objects

irb(main):001:0> "1..10".to_range
=> 1..10
=> PROFIT!

For any ambiguous cases, where there might be multiple matches of a possible range, This library assumes you need only the first possible, valid-looking Range match, ex:

irb(main):001:0> "1.10..50..100".to_range
=> 10..50

PS: It blows on your face, if it's unable to find a possible parsable match.

• Add support for Date/Time ranges? (Not in huge favor but if there's interest, I can take a stab at it.)

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'to_range'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install to_range
