From: Tim Wolak Date: 2008-05-07T22:04:25+09:00 Subject: changing hash key I am working with a script to record accounts and their balances. I need to check the key in a hash and if the account number is already there just add the blanace to the value. So far this is what I have and its not quite doing what I need. Is my test not right? I get all the account numbers and their balances instead of a list with the accounts and balances without the duplicate account numbers. Thanks, Tim sktylist = Hash.new("") if sktylist.has_key?('@acctnum') sktylist.merge!('@acctnum' => 'value') else sktylist[@acctnum] = [value] end sktylist.each { |key, value| puts "#{key} equals #{value}" } -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
