Rails - Jul 2008 - How to parse a .erb string and store the result on another string

Hi 

Before diving on the seas of find-out-your-self
I though I''d venture a post.

given a string with valid .erb syntax such as 

string=''<% who=world %> hello <%= who %>''

is there a way to parse it and obtain the result?

something like the imaginary method parse_erb

string.parse_erb
=> "hello world"

Anybody has a good idea on how to do this?

Thank you,

Andres
