clean urls, without directory structures....not sure what its called.

I have just recently learned the practice of clean uri/urls, combined
with ruby's string manipulation is a great way to pass open/
insensitive data. right now i have just one page, that controls my
whole site, except for index files that just pass the directory that
its located in to the one page that controls the whole site based on
the url address.

I find myself having to write scripts to make directories and copy the
same index page over and over and over.

I think a more elegant solution would be to handle any uri/url without
having the directory structure below.

Now I do know that maybe I'm posting in the wrong place and should be
at the local web server forum, but it probably still has to do with
some sort of apache/ruby based configuration? Maybe in the Add
Handlers section?

I tried searching some things, but I couldn't come up with the name of
this design pattern, or which site I think used it.

Thanks for any help,
taelor

Ahh, I made some pretty bad assumptions about what you were trying to
do.  I'm sorry.

I guess I would do this:

Date.civil( <at> calendar1.year,  <at> calendar1.date + 1,  <at> calendar1.day).to_s

Oh, no. Your suggestions were great. I combined your earlier suggestions 
and came up with this:

logdate = Time.local( <at> calendar1.year,  <at> calendar1.month + 
1, <at> calendar1.day).strftime('%Y-%m-%d').to_s

which works the same as what you just mentioned:

logdate = Date.civil( <at> calendar1.year,  <at> calendar1.month + 1, 
 <at> calendar1.day).to_s

Thanks a ton!

Sorry, I misunderstood what you wanted.
Is this more like it?

str = "lol1a2vasd"
m = /^(\w{3})(.*)(\w{3})$/.match(str).captures
m[1] = m[1].scan(/\d\w/)
p m.flatten #>  ["lol","1a","2v","asd"]

"include" has a lower case "i".

change method Array.new? (Was: Unexpected behavior with multidimensional arrays)

What would you guys think about removing the second parameter from 
Array.new ? I suggest this for 2 reasons:

If the object is a pass-by-copy class such as
   Array.new(n, true), or Array.new(n, 23)
then this syntax is exactly the same as
   Array.new(n) {true}, or Array.new(n) {23}

If the object is a pass-by-reference, such as
   Array.new(n, Klass.new)
this can be represented by
   k=Klass.new
   Array(n) {k}
This syntax is less pretty, but does anybody even Array.new this way? 
It's a sort of nice piece of syntactic sugar, but I don't see how it's 
actually useful. Please correct me if I'm wrong about this.

If all of the above is true, I would suggest removing the second 
parameter from this method, because it confuses plenty of newcomers.

Thanks,
Dan

Take a look at your .htaccess file. You could easily set up some rewrite
rules that redirect everything to a particular file. In your case, to your
index page.

Re: Requiring more than one file?

Hi,

I guess I should have phrased my question differently, seeing that it 
spawned
side-questions including an even ... rather ... odd ... notice that "the 
world isn't going to run out of carriage returns or line feeds any time 
soon ...."

The question should have simply been:

  Why does require allow only one argument?

You'll have better luck with your question in the Rails forum/mailing 
list. I don't know the URL, but google can probably help with that.

Any experience with Bluehost?

I am looking for hosting for RoR, but I'd also like to be able to do
some PHP with MySQL on the same account as well. I have been looking
at Bluehost. Does anyone have anything comments good or bad about
them?

Thanks,

Jim
