Filtering through an array of ActiveRecord objects

Hiya,

I have an array of ActiveRecord objects, I need to grab all records from the array where "section = 'foo'". I'm doing it this way because I don't want to have to perform two find_by_XXX queries.

I successfully did this a while ago but I have forgotten since and don't have the source code handy. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Something like

filtered = array.collect { |element| element if element == 'foo' }.compact

I don't want to have to perform two find_by_XXX queries.    I may not understand your problem, but can't you find_by_xxx_and_section(<xxx_value>, 'foo')?
