Unless you wanted to add that method to the Hash class, you could
easily do:
[hash1, hash2].collect{|hash| hash.reject{ |key,value| !
value}.keys.join(',')}
Which would give you an array of the new hashes. If you wanted to
assign these values to x and y:
x,y = [hash1, hash2].collect{|hash| hash.reject{ |key,value| !
value}.keys.join(',')}
