hi Peter -

  well, this is certainly no magic - but you could just make a temp
array, and check each entry to make sure you like it before committing
it to "b."
  there's probably a better way to do this, but here's what i came up
with:

a = [ '2011-01-01', '2011-01-02', '2011-01-03' ]
b = [ { :x => "foo" }, { :x => "bar" }, { :x => "baz" } ]
temp = []

a.each{|a_item| temp << {:date => a_item}}

temp.each{|entry|
  unless entry.inspect.include?("02") #or something else more relevant
    idx = temp.index(entry)
    b[idx] = entry
  end
}

temp = []

p b

#=> [{:date=>"2011-01-01"}, {:x=>"bar"}, {:date=>"2011-01-03"}]
