From: Jens -- Date: 2008-12-09T02:44:50+09:00 Subject: string to hash Hi All, I am in the need of a method that does the following: get 2 arguments a string and an integer (int_val). The string has the following form "a.b.c.d" the method should return a nested hash like that: { :a => { :b => { :c => { :d => int_val } } } } Hmmmm I am not rubyist enough to solve that elegant (or not at all :-/). Thanks Jens -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
