Hi this is my first post on the group and I think its an easy
question.
How do I assign a variable from parameter with a ‘.’ dot in it.
For instance
filename=(params[:Manual.pdf])
Thanks

filename = params[‘Manual.pdf’]
does not set filename for me. Any other ideas?
Nevermind i got it to work, thank you for the help.

Why is the dot in the key?
Why does ‘Manual.pdf’ look like a value (a real name of a real file)
instead of an abstraction, like :filename?
If Manual.pdf really really is the key, try params[ :‘Manual.pdf’ ]
Any other ideas?
p params
raise params.inspect
Both of those .inspect the keys, and .inspect generally turns any
“instant value” into its own Ruby expression. That will show you how
to write your :symbol.

Yeah that was my problem, I just mindlessly switched the key with the
value.
