Hi All,

I'm new to rails and am trying to tackle a problem that I can't seem to
find the right solution for.

I have an existing database that im building a rails app on top of. One
of my columns 'message' is a long string that I would like to be able to
query and split into various attributes to then be able to display each
of those attributes in a view.

I'm trying to implement this into the controller, but don't seem to be
getting any where.

Can you please let me know how I can achieve this within rails?


I don't quite understand exactly what you mean but it sounds to me like you want a custom serializer. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4472479/custom-serialization-for-fields-in-rails
