Form and split text

Rails
1

Hi,
I would like to split a text stock in my database and show it in
different textbox:
For example:
my text is like this : server1;server2;server3;server4server5

When a user wants to edit the object text I would like that the page
show :

server1
server2

etc…

How Can I do this?

thanks a lot

Why do you think you want to? If the data should be displayed in
multiple fields, then it probably should be saved in multiple fields in
the DB B

thanks a lot

Hi Harry Ko

Dont know what your intention is .But anyway answer to your question
is

arr = “server1;server2;server3;server4server5”.split(’;’)

 Now iterate through arr variable which is an array

Yes. But just to reiterate: if you need to do this, there’s probably a
design problem. Fix the problem instead of working around it.
