From: laredotornado Date: 2008-03-01T00:45:09+09:00 Subject: possible to optimize this? Hi, I am creating a variable "counter" to count the number of iterations. But I get the funny feeling Ruby (I'm using 1.8) may already have some kind of implicit counter in the loop. Does anyone know of a way the below can be optimized? <% counter = 0 %> <% @ec_orders.each do |ec_order| %> > <%=h ec_order.ship_first_name %> <%=h ec_order.ship_last_name %> <%=h ec_order.invoice_num %> <%= link_to 'View', {:action => 'view', :id => ec_order.id} %> <% counter += 1 %> <% end %> Thanks, - Dave
