Passing Parameters using redirect in rails controller method

I have this controller method:

def slide_change
 j=params[:val]
 g=TargetPortfolio.new
 @h,@lock=g.finding_the_concerned_id(j)
 #@h , @lock both are array. 
 last=TargetPortfolio.last  # TargetPortfolio is model class
 last.update_attributes(folders: @h)
 redirect_to :action => "target_port" #with this i need to pass @lock as argument
end

The other method target_port of controller:

def target_port
 @h=TargetPortfolio.last.folders
 # @lock from the slide_change
end

Available routes

slide_change GET  /slide_change(.:format)                Portfolio#slide_change
 /:controller(/:action(/:id))(.:format) :controller#:action

I have target_port.erb which uses @h and @lock .Any guesses how i can do that.

Change your redirect to redirect_to :action => "target_port", :lock => @lock and load it in the target_port method with @lock = params[:lock]

You'd have to define the value that g is giving in your routes.rb file for the target_port action. so let's say g is an ID number.

in routes.rb: 

match '/TARGET/:id', :to => 'controller#target_port', :as => :target_port

so in your controller you can write:

def slide_change
 j=params[:val]
 g=some_function(j)
 redirect_to target_port_path(g)
end

update

(more detailed)

In the new view file, add this line 

<%= hidden_field_tag "lock", @lock %>

the hidden field tag makes a param named "lock" that gets passed when the form is submitted, which you can access by putting this the create action of your controller:

def create
  ...
  @lock = params[:lock]
  ...
end
