Rails - Aug 2006 - rendering a view in a file

Hey all,

What''s the preferred method of rendering a view to a file?  Basically  
I''d like to create a script that invokes an instance of my rails app  
and then renders the view to a file.  I''d prefer to do this without  
an HTTP request (curl or whatever).

Thanks in advance!

Take a look at render_to_string.  Renders your view to a string (rather than 
to a response to the browser) which can then be written to a file.
