From: Prashant Katare Date: 2009-05-07T18:13:24+09:00 Subject: String issue Hello, I am trying to display the time spent in performing an activity in HTML format. The code below does that. If the time is 0 it shouldn't show anything else it should show the "time" followed by "hours" word. " #{start_time[:hrs] == 0 ? "" : start_time[:hrs] + hours} " The way I am trying to do is giving problems. "TypeError Exception: String can't be coerced into Fixnum" This is because of the "+ hours" in the code. Any solution to get this done? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
