Hi tom, yes the versions of ruby are also identical.
I have no clue what was happening, but I am going to get around it by converting the hash to json format first then allowing it to be serialized and then retrieving it and doing a JSON.parse on it. After which I will use symbolize_keys! I can be 100% certain then of the format of the data and should not have any problems. thank you both for your help -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
