Question

I am using the savon gem to deal with a really crappy soap response like:

["12|310|T02-260|", "14|130|T01-110|CAR 27", ...]

I need to split each of these at the pipe symbol and map them to a model attribute. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

This gets you the array of hashes

fields = [:a, :b, :c, :d]
response.map{ |r| Hash[*fields.zip(r.split('|')).flatten] }

Result = [ {:a => 1, :b => 2, :c => 3, :d => 4}, ... ]
