Is there any way possible to get the child paths given a path?

I mean given the following routes:

map.resources :users do |user|  
user.resources :articles  
…  
end

If I give path = “users/1”, is there any way to get the routes  
users/1/edit, users/1/articles, users/1/articles/new ?

Thanks in advance.

Yeh, I am currently looking at the code in the rake task of routes to  
get an insight. I guess I need to do some interpolation to get what I  
want. I will post my findings.
