Table.find(@params["tag"])

change this for it to compare the "tag" with a other column apart from
the id?? sorry for being such a noob but thats what i am

Split the records into fields, compare the fields to each other:

table.each { |record|
   fields = record.split("\t") # assuming tabs as field separator
   print "Found it!" if fields[3] == fields[5]
}

Maybe it would be more productive and educational if you posted your code
and asked specific questions.

You are on the wrong mailing list my friend. You want the the Ruby on _Rails_ forum which can be found on the same site as you used to post here.
