Dear Mr. Learner, Please note that while very similar in functionality, specs' philosophy differs from tests' (especially from non-TDD ones). That is, you write spec first, see it fail, and write some code to make it pass. If you happen to write any implementation code first, you should disregard it while writing a spec. You may find BDD reading in abundance on the internets.
To get a more substantial reply, I think you might want to describe what you want your code to do in plain English, and the community will hopefully help you to express that in rspec. Cheers, Costa.
