Rails - Oct 2005 - How to show a constant on a form

I''ve a controller method called "dofind" in my controller
class:

def dofind
@abc = "123"
end

And a view called "dofind.rhtml" which contains:

Hi <br>
<%= @abc %>


When I run the dofind method I can see the "Hi" from the view but not
the
value of abc.

If I add a abc.inspect it outputs "nil"

How in the heck do you do this?

Firstly, this is not a constant as a ruby constant. Constants start with an 
uppercase letter.

Is this really the entire code? As far as I can see, it should work fine. I just
tried it here, no problems whatsoever.

When you "run" the dofind method, I assume you mean you do
"http://host/bla/dofind"?
