Hello all,

I need a suggestion in routes configuration.

My requirement is to get all the parameters after the username in a URL,  
as a one string.

That is, consider my url is [http://example.com/raj/123/456/789/101](http://example.com/raj/123/456/789/101)

Here ‘raj’ is the username and i want to extract all the words after  
‘raj’ as one parameter. So “123/456/789/101” should be passed as a  
single parameter.

Is it possible?

Please help in finding the solution.

If you have any suggestions please help me !!!

Thank You

Thank you very much Jones.

That’s what i expected.  
I added the following in my routes.rb and the problem is solved.

map.profile ‘:username/\*levels’, :controller =\> ‘user’, :action =\>  
‘profile’.

Thank You
