Is there a way to check if part of the URL contains a certain string

Question

Is there a way to check if part of the URL contains a certain string:

Eg. <% if current_spree_page?("/products/*") %>, where * could be anything?

Answer 1

I tested, and gmacdougall's answer works, I had already found a solution though.

This is what I used to render different layouts depending on what the url is:

  url = request.path_info
  if url.include?('products')
    render :layout => 'product_layout'
  else
    render :layout => 'layout'
  end

The important thing to note is that different pages will call different methods within the controller (eg. show, index). What I did was put this code in its own method and then I am calling that method where needed.
