can I get all routes in my rails application? I need an output like rake routes and put the result in an array.
Is it possible? how?

TIP: If you ever want to list all the routes of your application you can use rails routes on your terminal and if you want to list routes of a specific resource, you can use rails routes | grep hotel . This will list all the routes of Hotel.
bin/rails routes will list all of your defined routes, which is useful for tracking down routing problems in your app, or giving you a good overview of the URLs in an app you're trying to get familiar with.
Rails routing is a two-way piece of machinery – rather as if you could turn trees into paper, and then turn paper back into trees. Specifically, it both connects incoming HTTP requests to the code in your application's controllers, and helps you generate URLs without having to hard-code them as strings.
In Rails, there are seven standard CRUD actions: index, show, new, create, edit, update, and destroy, which relate to specific HTTP verbs and are usually implemented using specific ActiveRecord methods.
You could have a look at way rails spits out those routes from the rake task. It's in /gems/rails/2.3.x/lib/tasks/routes.rake for Rails 2. Seems to be basically doing ActionController::Routing::Routes.routes in the general case and then interrogating that.
