check between these two dates.
I have done below code for single date parameter.but i don't know how to
iterate for two date ranges.
Dir.foreach("ChatHistory") do |folder_name|
if folder_name == params[:e_date][1]
@sub_folder = Array.new
Dir.foreach(File.join("ChatHistory",folder_name)) do |sub_folder_name|

You can make array of dates between two dates like this:

require 'date'
arr = ('2009-01-02'..'2009-01-30').select{|x| Date.parse(x) rescue nil}

Why iterate a range of Strings when you can just use Dates!

irb> require 'date'
=> true
irb> (Date.parse('2009-01-02') .. Date.parse('2009-01-31')).map{|d|
d.to_s}
=> ["2009-01-02", "2009-01-03", "2009-01-04", "2009-01-05",
"2009-01-06", "2009-01-07", "2009-01-08", "2009-01-09", "2009-01-10",
"2009-01-11", "2009-01-12", "2009-01-13", "2009-01-14", "2009-01-15",
"2009-01-16", "2009-01-17", "2009-01-18", "2009-01-19", "2009-01-20",
"2009-01-21", "2009-01-22", "2009-01-23", "2009-01-24", "2009-01-25",
"2009-01-26", "2009-01-27", "2009-01-28", "2009-01-29", "2009-01-30",
"2009-01-31"]
irb> puts (Date.parse('2009-01-02') .. Date.parse('2009-03-31'))
2009-01-02..2009-03-31
=> nil
irb> puts (Date.parse('2009-01-02') .. Date.parse('2009-03-31')).to_a

I don't understand what you're trying to do
