I find the routing plugin to be extremely helpful.  
If you still want to find them from the console, keep in mind that  
methods for the routes get attached to your controller.

This allows you to do this:

$ ./script/console

> > a = ApplicationController.new  
> > a.methods.sort.select {|m| m =~ /url$/ }

You can play with the regexp in the select block to filter to exactly  
what you’re looking for, but trying it should be illustrative.

Thanks,

David

thats pretty hand

a.methods.sort.select {|m| m =~ /path$/ }

never thought of parsing regexps through console output
