Hai

```
According to the http://wiki.rubyonrails, I am trying to do the file

```

uploading .

here i am sending my code

@file\_data=@params[‘label\_upload’][‘send\_file’]  
@params[‘sendfile\_label’][‘filename’] =  
@file\_data.original\_filename.gsub(/[^\w.\_-]/, ‘’) # This makes sure  
filenames are sane  
@params[‘sendfile\_label’][‘file\_content’] =  
@params[‘label\_upload’][‘send\_file’].read  
@params[‘label\_upload’].delete(‘send\_file’) # let’s remove the  
field from the hash, because there’s no such field in the DB anyway.

If i try to excute this code its giving the following error…

“undefined method `original\_filename’ for “mydoc.doc”:String”

Can any body facing this kind of problem…
