So let's say, for example: user has_many :posts post belongs_to :user Anywhere in the users resource I can access the user variables as I would expect. @user.name, @user.email, @user.login, etc. a...
I have been looking for an elegant and efficient way to chunk a string into substrings of a given length in Ruby. So far, the best I could come up with is this: def chunk(string, size) (0..(string.length-1)/size).map{|i|string[i*size,size]} end >> chunk("abcdef",3) => ["abc", "def"] >> chunk("abcde",3) => ["abc", "de"] >> chunk("abc...

I have 2 apps 1 Ruby (not written by me. I understand nothing of Ruby) and the other ASP.Net The Ruby app determines the users's IP address (I'm told "using first IP found in "HTTP_X_FORWARDED" )and passes a hashed version of it to the ASP.Net app. The ASP.Net app then determines the Client's IP address again (using Request.UserHostA...

The action is fairly long running - it builds a big string of XML, generates a PDF and is supposed to redirect when done. After 60 seconds or so, the browswer gets a 200, but with content type of "application/x-unknown-content-type" no body and no Re...

Thing - foo:string - goo:string - bar:int That isn't hard. The db table will contain three columns with those three attributes and I can access them w...

Perhaps I'm going about this the wrong way but I've tried this which was to no avail. Comm...

And googling for "ruby programming language guess" and variations thereof aren't helping. Anyone happen to know the name of the gem in q...
