Routes arguments.

Hi all!
First thing first you have to know that I'm a newbie with routes :-)
So this is my problem. I set this route:

Code:

$route[':any'] = "token/section/$1";

Which takes to the controller "token" and passes to the function "section" the argument "any".
This is my controller:

Code:

function section($section)
{
    stuff
}

If I go to http://mysite.some/else the result would be: http://mysite.com/token/section/else
But when I pass the variable $section through $data array, the view simply prints "$1".
Where's the mistake? :O
Thank you all in advance.

And, I apologize for my very bad English. :-)

Routes are essentially just regular expressions - you need to capture that :any expression, so you can use it in the replacement:

Code:

$route['(:any)'] = "token/section/$1";

Obviously it works. But as I said I'm just a newbie. :-) Thank you a lot. :-)

To expand a bit, $1 is the first set of parentheses, $2 is the second, and so on.
