Quoting from Rob Biedenharn's earlier post: > Date#wday gives the "weekday" number: 0=Sunday, 6=Saturday So the test for friday is if Date.today.wday == 5 Don't forget to allow for Saturday in your code though. As it stands it will set @tomorrow to Sunday if today is Saturday. I would advise against calling it @tomorrow if it is not tomorrow, it will confuse someone sometime. Something like @next_working_day might be better.
