Ok so I have a RoR project that seems to be...unconventional lol I'm attempting to validate the name of the file and using Kernal.System to input the file in the system as a parameter.
I've tried validates_presence_of, but that doesn't appear to work unless in a model which I don't have. I'm trying to use error_messages_for, but I don't understand how to use it or what to put in the controller. As for the Kernal. System, how do you use it so that when the user hits "OK", RoR inputs the file in the correct command, runs it, and points the user to the generated html file? Here's the complete code: trying_controller.rb ----------------------------------------------- class TryingController < ApplicationController def index end def to @logfile = params[:logfile] end end index.html.erb --------------------------------------------- <% form_tag :action => 'to' do %> <%= error_messages_for 'logfile' %> <%= label_tag 'logfile_label', 'Logfile:' %> <%= file_field_tag :logfile %> <%= submit_tag "OK" %> <% end %> to.html.erb -------------------------------------------- Logfile: <%= @logfile %> Thanks for any help, anon_comp -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
