Re: [Rails] recursive expansition of <% ... %>

The <% ... %> style of interpolation is specific to ERB templates; it's not used to interpolate in Ruby strings. What you're looking for is: @message = "The size is #...@a.size}" I suggest familiarizing yourself with Ruby before diving into Rails. On Thu, Feb 11, 2010 at 13:43, Ralph Shnelvar w

[Rails] recursive expansition of <% ... %>

In a controller I have @message = "The size is <% @a.size %>." In the view I have <%= @message %> which, sadly, produces The size is <% @a.size %>. rather than, say, The size is 4. If I try <%= <%= @ message %> %> I get a syntax error. Is there a solution? -- Posted via http://www
