Question

I am trying to create hash from xml file

Hash.from_xml <<-EOX
<user>
  <id>1</id>
  <user-name>ryan</user-name>
</user> 
EOX

when i use the above code it works fine and gives
{ :user => { :id => 1, :user_name => "ryan" } }

my problem is I have the xml part as a string

@xml ="<user><id>1</id><user-name>ryan</user-name></user>" 

And trying to do following but its not working

Hash.from_xml <<-EOX
  @xml 
EOX

Answer 1

You don’t need the mutli-line string EOX stuff:

Hash.from_xml @xml
