Question

I have an array of hashes titled entities

Here is a look at the array:

  p "entities"
  y entities
  p "entities[0]"
  y entities[0]
  p "entities[1]"
  y entities[1]
  p "entities[2]"
  y entities[2]

Output:

"entities"
--- |
 --- 
 - :text: Berlin

"entities[0]"
--- "-"
"entities[1]"
--- "-"
"entities[2]"
--- "-"

I can’t figure out how to access the individual hashes. Should something be coming up when I do p entities[0]?

Answer 1

Is entities.kind_of? String true? It looks like entities is actually a YAML string. Hence, entities[0/1/2] are the first three dashes of the YAML.
