Simple Problem

Rails

Is it possible to select a portion of string? For example, in many
websites, they give the first paragraph in the main page and link for
the article on the other page. I remember this is available in PHP.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

You should read the Ruby documentation at RDoc Documentation

Check out the entry on String. What you are probably looking for is
a_string.slice or a_string[]
