Question

How can I search first in model (i know how to do this). And then search in this array for more concretence? As you see:

@articles = Article.find(:all, :conditions => { :ART_ID => @search.map(&:ARL_ART_ID)})
@a = @articles.find_all{|item| item.ART_ARTICLE_NR == search.upcase }

First i search in model, but thanks to my db) it have many wrong results, so i must to clarify my array. But there how to search like sql:

like % %

Now it search very strong: if i search AC451, it’s good, but if AC45 or C451 it’s nothing fetches. How to say him so that before and after

search

could be everything?

Answer 1

Like this, maybe?

 item.ART_ARTICLE_NR.include?(search.upcase)
