Okay you're all right, before the split it's already "science students" ... how can I stop that from happening? I'm pulling it in through a URL for a calendar/events site. The URL determines what calendars to pull events from (ie science and students), so I have params[:cal] that's supposed to store the string. Why is it unescaping it for me? Should I just do a gsub!(' ', '+') maybe? Thanks for helping so fast! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
