From: "Mariko C." Date: 2008-03-01T06:01:59+09:00 Subject: Model Commands I'd like to do something like this in my RoR code: name = "james" box = Box.find(1) box_name = box.name Where "james" is an existing column in table Box. I try to do this but RoR tells me "undefined method `name' for #". Is it possible to get around this? Basically what I have is a list of strings that I need to use as column commands. Thanks in advance for any help. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
