From: Josh Hester Date: 2007-09-13T00:50:08+09:00 Subject: noob question about CASTING (yes, I know) ok, well i have os_hardware_combos.send("platform_id") which returns 1 and i have Platforms.find(1) which returns a value i want but if i do Platforms.find(os_hardware_combos.send("platform_id")) it says, no id supplied to the find method The only thing I can think of would be the 1 that is returned is not numeric? Although this didn't seem very ruby like. Any help?
