Hello!  
We all know that we expose the resources in the config/routes.rb  
like this:

map.resources :account

This create a named url. But how can I iterate through all the  
available named routes?

Regards,  
Mohsin

No it has to be actually in the code. let me see the code of the  
routes task then…
