Hi, I''m looking at the rails cookbook for uploading files[1]. At the bottom of the page it says that the sanitize_filename functioin would probably go in a helper or a library. I wonder where these files would be or what they would be called. Pehaps there are some conventions I need to know about? Thanks, Peter [1] http://manuals.rubyonrails.com/read/chapter/78

Thanks Joe. Editing files in the lib directory requires a reboot of webrick? Peter
I think the convention is to place them into helper files in the
app/helpers directory.
If you name them something like
''#{model}_helper'' they will get included in the controller
class and
views.
Generic helpers can go into the ''application_helper.rb'' file.
This does not require a reboot of webrick.
