HI!  
Is there any posibility to make a dynamic find that search with “like”  
sentense?  
For example:  
In my table there are records with values: Disc 0, Disc 1, Disc 2,  
Disc 3, etc… and i want to search all the records with Disc string.  
It’s possible to do this?

Salu2…

i’m not really sure what you want, does this help:

@disc = Disc.find(:all, :conditions=\>[“DISC LKE ?”, disc\_string])
