before_save :strip_strings

     validates_uniqueness_of :username      validates_presence_of :username               private            def strip_strings          self.username = username.gsub!(" ","")      end

example:

username = " gissmoh@gissmoh.de "

becomes gissmoh@gissmoh.de and is stored in the datbase as gissmoh@gissmoh.de

"gissmoh @gissmoh. de"

becomes gissmoh@gissmoh.de and is stored in the datbase as gissmoh@gissmoh.de

So I have duplicate entries!!

use before_validation : strip_strings instead

before_save occurs before Base.save, but after the validation
