Sorry for the resend but I am not sure if the first one ever made the list. As mentioned in my previous posts I''m trying to create a dynamic directory for file_folumn. After finding out that I didn''t have the most recent version I installed the latest trunk and am able to get file_column to act as it should. However I have been racking my brain on how to implement

Hi, My results are getting out of order after I do the following command: count = result.inject({}) { |hsh, row| hsh[row[''name'']] = row[''count''].to_i; hsh } Why? Here are more specifics: My complete method is this (based off of acts_as_taggable code - not'' DHHs, but the original one): def self.sql_to_count_plays(lookback) sql =

I know we already mentioned this before on the list but I couldn''t find it in the archives. Is there a way to differentiate the versions for ruby/mswin32 so that I could run a command like: # sudo gem install mongrel --source=http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/releases/ --include-dependencies --version 1.0 and have it not prompt me like this: Select which gem to install for your platform

I''m trying to get the following idea to work: <%= @column_names.each { |t| <td> t.downcase </td> <td> @listing.send(t.downcase)</td> } %> Essentially I want to display a form that has a left and right TD, with the left TD being a column name and the right TD being the column data.
