If there aren''t any really good ones out there would people be willing to contribute classes, methods and examples if I were to build on...

My girlfriend and I have been dating for two years, and she just told me she has an STI... Actually, I currently have three different models, like: Dog, Whale, Monkey They all have some similar attributes, but, they are unique enough to break into their own models.

I got this (split(/ /)) from the online pickaxe book at http://rubycentral.com/book/ref_c_string.html#String.split . The problem is, the resulting array seems to contain no spaces, only words, and what''s being printed to html is onehugewordthatlookslikethis.

Then I''d dig in before bothering the list. No joy at step 1. Can anybody point me to the right documentation? Thanks in advance, Bill -------------- next part

Everything seemed to work except for the last part in trying to do a rake migrate with a migration file version 1 and the schema_info version set to 0. Without the force attribute, the rake migration fails, as expected. So the recipe says to run this: ruby script/runner
