Subject: Re: object attributes list

Hi,

I think the key to what you want to accomplish it the
Object#instance_variables method.  Here is an example; I am sure other
people can write better Ruby code:

class Customer
	attr_reader :Customerid, :city
	def initialize
		@Customerid = 123
		@city = 'abc'
	end
end

c = Customer.new

hash = {}
c.instance_variables.each do |var|
	var = var.slice (1...(var.length))
	val = eval "c.#{var}"
	hash[var] = val
end
hash.each_key {|key| puts "\"#{key}\" => \"#{hash[key]}\""}

Regards,

Bill
