I want to routinely make updated hashes in controller methods and use
the data in views. Can I put this in a method and be done?
my_hash = {}
widget_holder = Cars.find(:all)
my_hash = widget_holder.map { |widget| widget.parking_spot_number,
widget.name}
Is that it? Is an array of two element arrays a hash or is there
another step?
I know I''ve seen this done but i cant find it in my books or via
search.
Can I then go:
<%=h my_hash[36] %> in a table slot and get it to return "
Blue Cadillac Eldorado"
if the instance of Car had values for name(Blue Cadillac Eldorado) and
parking
spot(36) accordingly?
Am I missing a step? (or two?)

Ok I stunk that one up and to boot, the question had recently been
answered. (sorry i didnt look hard enough)
Here is the link to the answer(elsewhere on this forum)
http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/129491#new
While what I put forward didn''t even return an array, I am curious
about one issue.
Is an array of strings that looks like a hash a hash? Could you go
x = value + " => " + value
@existing_hash << x
If so, could i use map like this?
new_hash = object_collection.map{|object| object.key_attribute + "
=>" +
object.value_attribute }
