Subject: Re: Nuby Array questions - each iterates nested arrays?

another possible solution:

class Array
  def each_recursive(&block)
    each do |x|
      if Enumerable === x
        x.each_recursive(&block)
      else
        yield x
      end
    end
  end
end

a=[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]
a.each_recursive { |x| p x}
