Couple problems here:
- each_index returns the original array. You're not assigning any new
values to it, so of course .intern isn't having any effect.
- not sure exactly what you're doing with the +', ' there, but I
suspect you really want Ruby's "splat" operator. It takes an array and
fills in the arguments to the method with each element (simplified
description). Your code would end up looking like:
items = text.split(/,\s?/)
ele.send_keys(*items.map {|x|
case x
when /^'(.*)'$/ then $1 # "'Student One'" => "Student One"
when /^:(.*)$/ then $1.to_sym # ":return" => :return
end
})
