Question

there is a Hash like this:

params = { k1: :v1, k2: :v2, etc: :etc }

i need it converted to a string like this:

k1="v1", k2="v2", etc="etc"

i have a working version:

str = ""
params.each_pair { |k,v| str << "#{k}=\"#{v}\", " }

but it smells like ten PHP spirits …

what’s the Ruby way to do this?

Answer 1

try this:

str = params.map {|p| '%s="%s"' % p }.join(', ')
