Hello…I’ve searched before posting but can’t find anything. New and
need help.
I want to iterate through some fields in my database table and populate
a html table with their values.
As an example, lets say I have a table (named race) that holds
information on a relay race. I have fields leg1, leg2…leg36 that hold
the miles per leg. I want to be able to run through a loop from 1 to 36
and displays all the legs. I thought this would work:
Name:
<%=h @race.name %>
…
<% 36.times do |p| %>
Leg <%= @race.leg+p %>
<% end %>
But I can’t combine @race.leg and p.
Is there a way to increment @race.leg so I don’t have to write @race.leg1[email protected] ?

Can you change the database structure? I think it would make more sense
to
have a “legs” table in this case. Then you could lookup all legs of a
given
race and iterate through them with @legs.each

Lennart…interesting thought, problem is I’ll still have the default
fields I have to deal with (created_at,updated_at, race_id)so it
wouldn’t be a purely ‘leg’ table. I could filter that out I guess but I
want to try to make this work.
Thanks for the reply
