Coincidentally, I had to resort to using number_to_currency in a controller the other day (okay, I didn't *have* to - I decided it easier to do it that way for the task I had to do :-) A quick Google for "number_to_currency controller" (now I'm giving away my Google-fu?!) gleaned this: http://lojic.com/blog/2007/07/27/using-helpers-inside-controllers-in-ruby-on-rails/ ..and for my quick and "I feel dirty" use, I settled for the solution: Object.new.extend(ActionView::Helpers::NumberHelper).number_to_currency(my_number) HTH -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
