Ruby on Rails

This is strange what happened here. Chronic parse was not able to
parse a string when it contained a range like this:

"1/1/2011 - 1/1/2012"

So in order to address this, i had to check for the "-" in the string:

if history_date.include? "-"
date_range =
Chronic.parse(Date.parse(history_date), :guess => false)

else
date_range =
Chronic.parse(history_date, :guess => false)

end

Im open to better solutions.

thanks for response
