All, I am RoR newbee, so maybe this is stupid question, but I can''t figure it out. I have a form from which I want to get some numbers. But if user has typed a number with whitespaces in it, I am getting only the first part until the whitespace. For example, if user types 300 000, the record is saved as only 300. Can anybody help? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

There''s probably a better way to do this but here is one suggestion. Instead of putting the return from the form into the (I presume numerical) model method, create a dummy method which gets the input from the form and puts it into a string. Then convert it yourself to a number. number = string_from_form.gsub(/\s+/, "").to_i -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
