Anyone know how to allow user entered (mySql) wildcards for a find? It seems that if I do a plain find(:all... with % as the search text it finds nothing where it seems it should find every row. I hope this is stated clearly enough. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
this worked for me when I gave an arg of "%" and "%ev%": conditions = [ "name like ?", args[0] ] MyTable.find( :all, :conditions => conditions ).each { |e| puts e[:name]} or are you referring to MySQL regular expression search?
