Hi,
I have an object (@cnt).
Now when I am calling "@cnt.inspect" on object it gives me output as
follows:-
----output----
[#"3"}>]
-----------

Now in aboove output the number between double quotes (3) which is of my
interest & I want to display it. How to do that?
Actually this is my method:-
===================================class Tagging < ActiveRecord::Base

 def self.find_count_of_tag(tag_name)
     find_by_sql([
            "SELECT count(*) as cntnew FROM taggings " +
            "WHERE taggings.tag_id = (SELECT tags.id from tags where
tags.name             ''food'')"
          ])
  end
end
===================================
Now this is code in my view:-
@cnt=@cnt=Tagging.find_count_of_tag(''food'')

Now how to get the value of count which is returned by method with SQL
??

PLease help me.
Thanx in advance.
Prash
