okay lol forget about the "nil" problem I mentioned at the end, that was
because out of the huge list of words there were a few that started with
a symbol other than a kanji so just doing:
"k.id unless k.nil?" did the trick
so I'm going to change my question to... is there another(simpler) way
to do this? right now my helper looks like crap, I mean... like this:
*************************************
def word_to_links(word)
parts, o = [], ""
(word.size/3).times{ |i| parts << word[i*3,3] }
parts.each do |part|
k = Kanji.find(:first, :conditions => "kanjis.kanji = '#{part}'")
o << (k.nil? ? part : link_to(part, "/kanjis/#{k.id}"))
end
o
end
*************************************
Thanks.
