Rails - Aug 2005 - array data to table?

Can someone help a newbie here. Trying to learn Ruby and rails at the same 
time is troublesome.  I tried looking for this in the pick axe and rails books 
and could find an answer to my problem.

I have an array called @labelArr that has n number of elements and I want to 
add each element of the array to a table called Labels that has two fields (id
&
label) can someone help me with how I would do this?


thanks,

-bill

If

== app/models/label.rb

class Label < ActiveRecord::Base
end

=
then the code you want is:

@labelArr.each do |element|
  Label.new( :label => element ).save
end

There''s probably a more terse way of doing it, but that should be ok.

(cc''d direct because the mailing list''s being *really* slow).

You could solve it with something like this one-liner:

@labelArr.each {|label| Label.create(:label => label) }
