hi guys,

In my rails rhtml page I have several check box named as param0,  
param1…param9.

in my controller method I want to obtain the value by a loop.  
I have generated the name of the post values  
by this code:

@total=Array.new  
count=0  
while count\< 10  
param\_me=‘param’+count.to\_s  
#@total \<\< params[:param\_me]  
@total \<\< val\_index  
count=count+1  
end

I want to store the values in the array: @total

In the comment line how can i place the param\_me which will work as the  
following line:

@total \<\< params[:param0]  
@total \<\< params[:param1]  
.  
.  
.  
@total \<\< params[:param9]

please take a hand in my code
