Subject: Re: Dynamic string (depending on a variable)

# But still it doesn't work :
# sentence = "Your ticket expired #{nb_of_days + ' days ago' if
# nb_of_days > 0}#{'today' if nb_of_days==0}"

my initial suggestion is to always start slowly by splitting the problem into small parts...

eg,

> nb_of_days=0
=> 0

> time_phrase = nb_of_days==0? "today" : "#{nb_of_days} day(s) ago"
=> "today"

> sentence = "Your ticket expired "+time_phrase
=> "Your ticket expired today"


you can then join them later if you want...
