Validate that a value is in a certain range, e.g. 1 <= val <=2

Question

I want to validate a number :value to be within 1 or 2

validates :value, :format => { :with => /1|2/, :message => \"Select number..\" }
         


        

Answer 1

if you want it to be a number within 1 and 2 ( 1.5, 1.6839749, etc ) do

validates_numericality_of :value, :greater_than_or_equal_to => 1, :less_than_or_equal_to => 2, :message => "blah"

may not be what you are looking for but is worth noting,
