I think OP wants to map numbers to names. Since keys in this case are
numbers and they are in a relatively small range we can also use an
Array instead a Hash. But first with a Hash:
h defined as above
irb(main):014:0> input = '1-3-11-7-4-7'
=> "1-3-11-7-4-7"
irb(main):016:0> input.scan(/\d+/).map {|n| h[n.to_i]}
=> ["p1", "p3", "p11", "p7", "p4", "p7"]
irb(main):017:0> input.scan(/\d+/).map {|n| h[Integer(n)]}
=> ["p1", "p3", "p11", "p7", "p4", "p7"]
now with an Array
irb(main):019:0> h=%w{p0 p1 p2 p3 p4 p5 p6 p7 p8 p9 p10 p11}
=> ["p0", "p1", "p2", "p3", "p4", "p5", "p6", "p7", "p8", "p9", "p10", "p11"]
irb(main):020:0> input.scan(/\d+/).map {|n| h[Integer(n)]}
=> ["p1", "p3", "p11", "p7", "p4", "p7"]
Kind regards
