I have the following method in my controller:

def send\_contact\_request  
@contact = Contact.new(params[‘contact’])  
if @contact.save  
begin  
Mailer::deliver\_contact\_message(@contact)  
flash[:notice] = "Success!”  
redirect\_to :action =\> “contact”  
rescue  
flash[:notice] = “It broke!”  
render :action=\>“contact”  
end  
else  
render :action=\>“contact”  
end  
end

```
end

```

When I try to run the project, I get the following error:

C:/rubyapps/fcalc/app/controllers/numbers\_controller.rb:96: syntax  
error, unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting kEND  
redirect\_to :action =\> “contact”  
^  
C:/rubyapps/fcalc/app/controllers/numbers\_controller.rb:99: syntax  
error, unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting kEND  
render :action=\>“contact”  
^  
C:/rubyapps/fcalc/app/controllers/numbers\_controller.rb:102: syntax

render :action=\>“contact”  
^

unterminated string meets end of file  
C:/rubyapps/fcalc/app/controllers/numbers\_controller.rb:102: syntax  
error, unexpected $end, expecting kEND

I sure it’s staring me in the face, but I have been looking at it so  
long I can’t see it
