Rails - Sep 2013 - Delete duplicate records from a 2 dimensional array in rails

Hello,

I am trying to insert elements into an array like this...

@mem = []@tran = Transport.find_all_by_month_and_vehicle(date,vehicle)tran.each
do |t|
  @mem << [Student.find_by_id(t.mem_id), t.transport_date, vehicle.no] if
t.mem_type=="Student"
  @mem << [Employee.find_by_id(t.mem_id), t.transport_date, vehicle.no] if
t.mem_type=="Employee"end

And in the view page I am looping and displaying it as

@mem.each do |m|
  <tr>
            <td><%= link_to m[0].first_name} %></td>
            <td > <%= m[0].age %></td>
            <td id="date"> m[1] </td>
            <td id="vehicle"> m[2] </td>
  </tr><%end%>

But I am getting duplicate entries in the table... So I neeed to remove
duplicates and display only unique values.. I tries doing
  @mem << [Student.find_by_id(t.mem_id), t.transport_date,
vehicle.no].uniq! if t.mem_type=="Student".. But it is not working..
Please help

@tran = Transport.where( date: date, vehicle: vehicle)
@mem = @tran.members

Iterate in view

@mem.each do |mem|
  mem.name
  mem.vehicle

Should work if you have the relations set up. You should go read one or two
tutorials about relations and how to set them up.

if you really need to do some processing that gets you an array with 
duplicate entries and then clean the array at the end of it all.  try doing 
something like

@mem = @mem.uniq

you can probably do @mem.uniq!  but i''ve had some cases where that
didn''t
get me the results i wanted.

uniq can take a block as well if you wanted to unique similar arrays on 
a specific element:

@mem.uniq { |mem| mem[1] }

Or even on multiple criteria:

@mem.uniq { |mem| [ mem[1], mem[2] ] }
