iterate over a hash with values containing a array of hashes

[Bruno Moura]

Hi

I need iterate over a hash with values containing a array of hashes for
build a string with comma values


I tried tranform this

{"F15"=> [
{"first"=>"01" , "last"=>"" , "data"=>"ATX", "Xcode"=>"F15",
"type"=>"G_TRD"},
{"first"=>"Aero", "last"=>"Z", "data"=>"VTA", "Xcode"=>"F15",
"type"=>"H_TGFE"},
{"first"=>"digg", "last"=>"" , "data"=>"GFC", "Xcode"=>"F15",
"type"=>"T_1000"}],
"F17"=> [
{"first"=>"X01", "last"=>"Sx" , "data"=>"ATT", "Xcode"=>"F17",
"type"=>"H_TGFE"},
{"first"=>"DEF", "last"=>"Z" , "data"=>"VTA", "Xcode"=>"F17",
"type"=>"G_TRD"},
{"first"=>"EDF", "last"=>"FR" , "data"=>"CFC", "Xcode"=>"F17",
"type"=>"T_900"}]}

into a string like this:


"F15;first;01;last;;data;ATX;Xcode;F15;type;G_TRD"
"F15;first;Aero;last;Z;data;VTA;Xcode;F15;type;H_TGFE"
"F15;first;digg;last;;data;GFC;Xcode;F15;type;T_1000"
"F17;first;X01;last;Sx;data;ATT;Xcode;F17;type;H_TGFE"
"F17;first;DEF;last;Z;data;VTA;Xcode;F17;type;G_TRD"
"F17;first;EDF;last;FR;data;CFC;Xcode;F17;type;T_900"

I believe that this task isn't complex, but for me is difficult to do
now

Everyone can help me with this?

thanks so much

How far were you able to get before getting stuck? The basic way to
iterate over a Hash is each:

irb(main):001:0> hash = {"A" => 1, "B" => 2}
=> {"A"=>1, "B"=>2}
irb(main):002:0> hash.each{|key, value|
irb(main):003:1* p value
irb(main):004:1> }
1
2
=> {"A"=>1, "B"=>2}

When the values stored in the Hash are Arrays, you can use each within each:

irb(main):005:0> hash = {"A" => [1,2,3], "B" =>[4,5,6]}
=> {"A"=>[1, 2, 3], "B"=>[4, 5, 6]}
irb(main):006:0> hash.each{|key, array|
irb(main):007:1* p key
irb(main):008:1> array.each{|element|
irb(main):009:2* p element
irb(main):010:2> }
irb(main):011:1> }
"A"
1
2
3
"B"
4
5
6
=> {"A"=>[1, 2, 3], "B"=>[4, 5, 6]}

Does that help get you moving in the right direction?

Thanks guys, you rocks!

The snippets that you showed save my time!

I can iterate over a simple hash or array, but when is necessary work if
a more complex structure, like a array of hashes or a hash of array of
hashes I
feel paralyzed.I don't know how I should use blocks in the right way or
efficiently.

For me is really difficult to understand this.

How can I improve my practice with this kind of task?

Thanks again!
