In my erb templates, I've got this pattern quite often: <table> <th>Songs</th> <% for aSong in songList %> <td><%= aSong.name %></td> <% end %> <% unless songList.empty? %> <td>no songs!</td> <% end %> </table> Is there any way to write is more like this: <table> <th>Songs</th> <% for aSong in songList %> <td><%= aSong.name %></td> <% else %> <td>no songs!</td> <% end %> </table> Thanks, Douglas
