Thanks a lot for the reply. My hash has one value - an array of nested 
hashes, that's why I looped on that array and tried to format the keys 
with 'underscore' method. I hoped to get them formatted with 
'underscore' as follows:

ARR: [[{"assigned_name"=>"p1", "export_price"=>"usd"... etc.

but got all of them prefixed with a backslash, just before every quote:

"{\"assigned_name\"=>\"p1\"

I'd like to pass that hash to update an ActiveRecord value with 
update_attributes and it will fails with the above hashes. Any idea? 
Thank you.
