Ask there => http://nubyonrails.com/tools/pluralize You want: "people".classify => "Person" You might also want: "people".classify.constantize => Person constantize gives you the class, not a String. -Rob Rob Biedenharn http://agileconsultingllc.com Rob-xa9cJyRlE0mWcWVYNo9pwxS2lgjeYSpx@public.gmane.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Of course,
all of these rely on using the default table name,
if out of legacy you have a class
class CrazyClass
