Hi,

I have a loop which loops through all the associations for a particular  
model, what i want is to display a label with the class name formatted  
like “My Class Name”

\<% @project.reflect\_on\_all\_associations.each do |association| %\>  
\<%= association.name %\>  
\<%= association.class.name %\>  
\<% end %\>

The above gives me “my\_class\_name” and the second output gives me  
“MyClassName” but what i want is My Class Name" without the underscore  
and with a space after the capitals. Is there a quick way to this with  
rails or do i need to write a method to handle this?

Any Advice appreciated,

Johnny B
