Rails - Jan 2007 - Re-post: Problem with dashes in URL / Routes

Hey Guys!

First, I am a complete noob at rails. This is my first attempt at a
website using ruby. I''ve done quite a bit of searching and
can''t seem
to find the answer to this question. I''m sure its something completely
obvious I''m missing, lol.

I''m having a little issue getting "link_to" to generate
URL''s with "-"
instead of "+". Some of my URL''s may have a variable on the
end that
could have spaces ( ie. domain.com/controller/action/some+variable/ ).
I would like to replace that "+" with a "-" and then remove
the dash
before I query the database with that variable. Is it possible to have
the routes do this automatically? Would I use a regex with
:requirements?


Thanks in Advance,
Nick

I would do it in the controller. Get the variable in your controller and 
do some+variable.gsub(" ", "-") and then do the query.

Kind regards,

Nick
