Well, the fastest (but also dirtiest) way is instance_eval:
irb(main):001:0> s = "{:name=>'q'}"
=> "{:name=>'q'}"
irb(main):002:0> s.class
=> String
irb(main):003:0> o = instance_eval(s)
=> {:name=>"q"}
irb(main):004:0> o.class
=> Hash
This would work, but I wouldn't recommend it since it interprets
everything in <Locator> as Ruby code.
You could also add more structure to the locator and build the hash
yourself:
<Locator>
<Key>name</Key>
<Value>q</Value>
<Locator>
def get_object_locator(object_id)
object_file = Document.new File.new('c:\a.xml')
object_file.elements.each("//TestObject[Identifier='#{object_id}']") {
locator = element.elements['Locator']
key = locator.elements['Key'].text
value = locator.elements['Value'].text
return { key.to_sym, value }
}
end
That's not the most elegant of code, but you get the idea.
