Check URL

Rails
#1

Is there a way to do an if/else case to check the URL? for example-

<% if URL = “http://www.google.com” %>

Hi, your URL’s GOOGLE

<% else %>

You URL isn’t GOOGLE

<% end %>

Of course that method is just a mockup, does anyone know the real
syntax? Thanks

<% if request.url == ‘http://www.google.com’ %>
GOOGLE!
<% else %>
not google
<% end %>

That’s literally what you’re asking, but not sure if it’s really what
you want to do. You might be better off checking params[:controller]
and params[:action] perhaps. Or doing a regular expression match to
pick up “http://google.com” and
“http://maps.google.com/q=12345+Maple+St”, etc.

But… in any event, request.url will give you what the browser sees in
their location bar.
