Assume for I have a field on my form as follows: <%= file_field ( "drawing", "drawing" ) %> the form has multipart set and the upload is occurring. I''m trying to retrieve the original filename. Reading the documentation in "How to upload Files, it appears that <%= drawing[''drawing''] %> Would display the original filename. I don''t get anything from this, however, so obviously I''m misreading something. params[:drawing][:drawing] correctly has the file name uploaded, but I also need to know something about the file on the user''s machine. What am I missing? How do I find the original filenname? thanks in advance ---Michael -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
