Is there a way to

Is there any easy way of using something like current_page? method from ActionView::Helpers::UrlHelper inside controller ?

Can anyone who uses MacVim tell me what they use for such tasks? I have been poking around and see :grep as the main method, although

After copying the code here.... .... http://joshuaclayton.github.com/code/2009/07/14/should-act-as-list.html.... into my test_helper file so I can test acts_as_list, I came across issues.

After this, I just opened the console and loaded the file into a string and did a regex search for my data -- the result was almost instantaneous. The question is, if I can get
