Rails - Nov 2005 - help with User.find() and rendering text

Hi all,

I''m trying to do something for a project. Herez what im trying to do.

The user name gets passes from the view to the controller.

On line2: The user name gets displayed.
On line 3: (If this command works the way I think it works, the sad part 
is I always get it wrong) anyways, The entry in the data base with the 
given user name gets searched and the user info gets stored in the 
variable @user.
On line 4: Now how do i print it out? Is it a variable.
1. @some_variable = @params[:user_name]
2. render_text @some_variable.to_s
3. @user = User.find(:all, :conditions => [ "user_name = ?", 
''@some_variable''])
4. render_text @user.to_s


I''m very sorry for this long and anoying post. I''m new to this
and
really need help!

Thanks

S

The method you''re after is @user.inspect.  @user is an instance
variable
of class (I presume) User.
