Writing To The Response in Rails? (Like “echo” in PHP)

Question

I know that I can do this in Rails:

<%=\"hello\" %>

but is there any way to do this

<%
echo \"hello\"
%>

Use concat, I've tried it and it works. However if you need to use HTML chars use:

concat(sanitize("STRING"))

or open your app/helpers/application_helper.rb and write:

def echo(str)
    concat sanitize str
end

so you can just type: echo "hello
\n"
