Problem regarding accessing attributes from object

Rails
1

Hi,
I have an object (@cnt).
Now when I am calling “@cnt.inspect” on object it gives me output as
follows:-
----output----
[#“3”}>]

Now in aboove output the number between double quotes (3) which is of my
interest & I want to display it. How to do that?
Actually this is my method:-

class Tagging < ActiveRecord::Base

def self.find_count_of_tag(tag_name)
find_by_sql([
"SELECT count(*) as cntnew FROM taggings " +
“WHERE taggings.tag_id = (SELECT tags.id from tags where
tags.name=
‘food’)”
])
end
end

Now this is code in my view:-
@cnt=@cnt=Tagging.find_count_of_tag(‘food’)

Now how to get the value of count which is returned by method with SQL
??

PLease help me.
Thanx in advance.

Now that you have @cnt, try @cnt.cntnew. Since that is what you are
calling
the attribue as you defined in your AS part of your SQL query.
