Hi,

I tried searching Google but didn’t find anything relevant.

When I try to ‘show’ I get the following error:  
no route found to match “/pay\_files/show/9.0” with {:method=\>:get}

However the url “/pay\_files/show/9” works fine. The ‘.0’ is causing  
the issue.

Thanks for any help.

Sri

The dot “.” is a delimiter in routes like slash “/”. You probably  
don’t have a route like  
:controller/:action/:id.:sth  
However, you can add ":id =\> /._/" to the route:  
map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id’, :id =\> /._/  
This way the id can be of any kind, the route will alway match. But  
remember to handle params[:id] properly.

Jan,

You are right I had one route without the :id =\> /._/  
map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id’, :id =\> /._/  
but not  
map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id’, :id =\> /.\*/

It did the trick.

Thank you,  
Sri
