Hi!

I’m trying to create a nested hash which should hold the dates  
in my database as a kind of calendar. What I did so far is obviously  
wrong,  
because I’m storing the week-number for every day in the week array.  
I don’t really understand nested hashes and can’t find the solution.

what am I doing wrong here?? What’s the right way of doing this??

11 @calendar = Hash.new{|h,k| h[k]=Hash.new(&h.default\_proc) }  
12 week = []  
13 Dates.find(:all).each do |row|  
14 date = Date.strptime(str="#{row.dato}")  
15 year = date.cwyear  
16 month = date.mon  
17 week \<\< date.cweek  
18 @calendar[year][month] = week  
19 end

thanks in advance,

floke
