hashx[key1][key3] = key1val3 will give an error if hashx[key1] is null. This is how I did it in perl, but ruby isn't as forgiving. Also, I want to be able to build an arbitrarily deep hash. Say hashx[key1][key11][key111]...[key11111]. The end goal is to build a hash that I can build an YUI treeview on. So I need to build the tree, then loop through the keys to create the TreeNode. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
