I''ve got an array that I want to use to access a database with. I want to execute a command like: @people = Person.find([3, 5, 7]) but use an array variable inside the find. When I try this: ids = Array.new() ids << 3 ids << 5 ids << 7 @people = Person.find(#{ids}) The output turns out to be: @people = Person.find(357) Is there a way to retain the array without it being concatenated into a string? -Anthony -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
