for some reason, i am having a hard time with some thing REALLY simple..
i am going through an array of objects, making a one element hash of the
data, and appending that hash to an array..
here''s the code...
@places.each do |p|
city_string[''city_text''] = p.city.titleize + '',
'' + p.state.upcase
@city_list << city_string
end
after some investigation, what i am finding is that the output of this
is an n element array where n is the size of @places... the bad part is
that each element is a hash with the key-value pair of the last object
in @places..
i did some tracing through the loop, and i found that during each
iteration of the loop, the entire array up to that point takes on
key-value values for the current element..
i am stumped..
anyone have any ideas?
thanks!

Mr. Mohit Sindhwani, I was lead to believe that RoR community was a helpful lot. Yes i am aware that Google exist and that does gives results. But please use your "Superior Intellect" and put a little pressure on upstairs and then think why will i ask that question if i was getting all the help in google. What will be the use of these(and similar) forums(which unlike, does have lot of helpful people) i would be asking for "help". And i always believed that developer though famously don''t have lot of social traits but still have basic decency in them.right?...anyway thank for ALL your help. I was just a newbie in this forum...been to lot but never got such a splendid welcome...

Hi Arjun, If you refer to your original post (which included you hijacking a thread), you don''t seem to have provided any detail at all that you referred to Google and found that it didn''t work for you. Sarcasm is good if you can back it up. In any case, if you would be kind enough to tell us why you felt that Google has let you down and that the fantastic guides it connects to you are not working for you, perhaps someone would help. You are most welcome to the forum here. People here are very welcoming and I apologize to them that I may have given them a bad name in your little world. All the same, there is basic etiquette that all newbies *should* follow (and I''m a relative newbie myself) - (1) Google your problem, (2) Start a new thread and post to a forum what you have done and why it doesn''t work for you You are likely to find people much more helpful.

Arjun, You are right,thats an interesting question on ruby on rails and not only interesting but common for all who getting started with ruby on rails. I think its really bad to break the thread but it''s not a big issue to communicate like this i.e. Mr. Mohit Sindhwani,really he is a great personality?,he may be well known in his community but i don''t know him.......,there is three kind of people in the world,(1)literate(2)Illiterate and last one is (3)literate-type illiterate. Now you have to think about that in which type Mr. Mohit Sindhwani belongs to???????????????????????????????????????. Any way all the men belonging to this forum are not bad as this is a big forum on ruby on rails. All members of this forum are not Mr. Mohit Sindhwani,so u may ask your questions frequently .I think Mr. Mohit Sindhwani have to take this communication in cool manner.

Hi Ajit I am not a big personality and don''t consider myself to be. I''m merely pointing out that any individual should try to search an answer to her/his question before asking a forum and should explain to the forum what s/he''s tried and what problems s/he is facing with it. Merely saying "can anyone tell me how to install ruby and then rails on ubuntu linux?" is too generic a question and there are many guides online that cover this topic. Anyway, this is _my_ last post on this topic. Cheers Mohit.

Hi Mohit Sindhwani ,
its not a matter of big personality,but its matter- some one ask
about his problem,because he is facing that. if ruby on rail-forum
doesn''t help him then there is no meaning of the existence of ruby
forum. if you hearted than sorry for that. but my intension is not like
this.
Anyway
Cheers

Arjun Ghosh wrote:> I was lead to believe that RoR community was a helpful lot.RoR only exists because Google can unify its scattered and fragmented documentation. Hence, we need the threads here to start with a summary what Google said on a topic, so we know which gaps to fill. Consider those here who _will_ Google your question, and to cross-check their answers. Next, Ubuntu is downstream from Debian, and Debian''s packagers have a severely broken Ruby system. For example, rubygems is the most important Ruby library (because it installs all the others), but the Debian packages don''t include it. Then if you install it, rubygems breaks for no apparent reason, in various ways. Last year I tried to get Debian working on Ubuntu on my notebook, and I gave up and switched to Mandriva (which is downstream from RedHat and different base packages). Last month I successfully installed Kubuntu on the same notebook and then got all of Rails working correctly. I don''t know how I did it - do not ask me. Then I tried to install Kubuntu and Rails on a desktop computer, and I couldn''t get it working with > twice the effort. I couldn''t build Ruby from scratch and then install everything all the way up, and I couldn''t apt-get a basic Ruby and then add rubygems on top of that. So I got CentOS (yet another of RedHat''s "we''re not really RedHat" project, like Fedora), then yum f---ed up and locked up my GUI over and over again. So I built Ruby from scratch, installed rubygem, and everything started working. If you are a newb (I have >cough< 20 years programming experience, 10 of those on a Un*x), then erase that f---ing Ubuntu and get a RedHat-derived distro, such as Mandriva or a RedHat.> > I DON''T MEAN TO BE RUDE BUT... > > 1.

So basically, each element in the array is pointing to the SAME hash and will take on the key, value pair of the last assignment. try: @places.each do {|p| @city_list << {''city_text''==>p.city.titlelize + '','' + p.state.upcase} } -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Actually, installing the Rails "stack" (incl. MySql, Apache, Mongrel, Subversion) on Ubuntu is a no-brainer, thanks to deprec. There''s a free screencast that shows the whole process in one go: http://topfunky.com/clients/peepcode/free-episodes/peepcode-free-deprec.mov , and it''s documented elsewhere : http://wiki.slicehost.com/doku.php?id=automated_rails_install_and_deployment_with_deprec_capistrano Alain --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

The following link will point you to the book on Amazon that describes the process of intalling Ruby on Rails on Ubuntu in detail. I followed it and had no problems: http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-Ruby-Rails-E-Commerce-Professional/dp/1590597362/ref=sr_1_6/002-4785372-7363265?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1174431620&sr=1-6 Hope this helps.
