[LRUG] Query about ActiveRecord

[David Salgado]

Hi John

Sorry I'm late to the discussion, but couldn't you just do this?

class Cycle < ActiveRecord::Base

  before_save :ensure_pattern_has_correct_length

  private

  def ensure_pattern_has_correct_length
    self.pattern = some_padding_function( @pattern )
  end

end

... or am I missing something?

Cheers

David
