Oops. Sorry. That’s what the g in gsub does! I don’t know what I was thinking.
If you put the puts after the gsub do you see the replacement being done?
Also, what I world do is run the code by hand one line at a time and see if it does what you expect and see if changes made there are affecting the database you’re trying to affect.
So… I think I know what has caused my confusion…
‘rails c’ vs ’ d/rails c’
My absolute inexperience in working with containers wreaking havoc here. My script working fine, removing the tags outside of the container but then when firing up the d/unicorn all the tags were still there. Now when doing d/rails c I do see all the tags I want to get rid of…
OMG. This must have been so obvious a thing to do that you @pfaffman didn’t think of this biting me LOL.
Anyways, I think I am all set to clean up my posts in an automated fashion on my live site too.
That’s a new one on me! I figured that you somehow were accessing two databases, but even now that you’ve explained it, I don’t quite know what was happening!
Glad you got it!
