Missing Method defined in controllers/application.rb

You've defined a method on ApplicationController (and hence it's subclasses) but you're calling it on an instance of Hash.

Perhaps the quickest way out would to make that method take as an argument the hash to work on.

(PS: the .* in your regexp does nothing, and certainly doesn't guarentee that the match is found at the end of the string)

This is the second time that I have made this type of error. Perhaps eventually I will learn to understand what I am reading.

I take your point. This is what I ended up with in config/initializers/hash_addins.rb

class Hash   def datebalk!     # set regexp for datebalks generated attributes     c = /__dteblk\Z/     # Remove datebalks generated attributes from params hash     delete_if { |k, v| c =~ k.to_s }   end end

And this works just fine. Thank you very much for the pointers.
