Iterate every month with date objects

Question

So I have two ruby Date objects, and I want to iterate them every month. For example if I have Date.new(2008, 12) and Date.new(2009, 3), it would yield me 2008-12, 2009-1, 2009-

Answer 1

Date.new(2014,1,1).upto(Date.today).map {|date| "#{date.to_s[0..-4]}"}.uniq

Will give you a string representation of each month including it's year.
