To note, I only have the URI in a string as its from a POST from an
external API as JSON Data.
Basically I need this:
http://www.someapp.com/events/12345
I just need the 12345
Obviously, params[:id] won''t work so I''m not sure how to get
this. I
tried this:
    url = data[''referring_site'']
    event_id = CGI::parse(URI::parse(url).query)
But it didn''t work.
Where the referring_site was the URL in question.
Thanks
Brad

Is there anything wrong with:
data[''referring_site''].split("/").last 
Which will give you what you are looking for, assuming that is the limit of 
your URL?

Beauty!!!! Thats it. Thank you. Knew it was a string call, just not sure which one. Especially coming from the PHP world. Thanks again.

If I''m not mistaken Rails should then automatically provide "12345" in params[:id]. But, the provided solutions should work for your needs. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
