Hi
It seems to me that you cant append to hash. I am trying to find a way
to dynamically create key value pairs.
Example
some_hash = {"name" => "tom",
"uid"="100", "mail" = "tom.dot.com" }
Now I have function which loops thru 100 users and I would need to
append them to end of that hash ie.
some_hash should start to look like this:
some_hash = {"name" => "tom",
"uid"="100", "mail" = "tom.dot.com",
"name" => "diana", "uid="101",
"mail" => "diana.dot.com", .... and
so }
I tried has merge but since keys are same for all entries ie. (name,
uid, mail) it only replaced current value
and I ended up having a hash with only last value on that loop.
If this is not possible whats the way to dynamically create such key,
value pairs so I can loop then thru
and check if key value is uid (or email or name) and then do
whatever ...

well im a noob but looks im getting closer. what i have now is
ldap.search( :base => treebase, :filter => filter ) do |entry|
# here is email john.doe-gJ1G9MGqaQg@public.gmane.org
emailstr = entry[:mail].to_s
# here is John''s uid = john
uidstr = entry[:uid].to_s
# here is john''s fullname
fullnamestr = entry[:cn].to_s
if emailstr != '''' && uidstr != ''''
&& fullnamestr != '''' then
@collection << {:mail => emailstr, :fullname => fullnamestr, :uid
=>
uidstr}
end
end
and print to those out i have
<% @collection.each do |key,val| %>
KEY: <%= key %> VAL: <%= val %><br>
<% end %>
this results to this:
KEY: uidjohnfullnameJohnDoemailjohn.doe-gJ1G9MGqaQg@public.gmane.org VAL:
ie. i cant seem to separate those values but all comes as one huge
string.
and btw thanks for the help so far.

well ldapsearch works in controller only and from there I need to pass data to the view. This is too complicated for me since there are no good examples on the net. I just do big array and go those one by one thru.
