Hello there, I have the hash:
@hash = {“a”=>“1”, “b”=>“2”, “c”=>“3”}
And I need to create an array:
@array = [ [‘a’,‘1’],[‘b’,‘2’],[‘c’,‘3’] ]
How do I do that?

Rob,
Could I ride this thread with a short variation? I have a zillion
dropdowns in my project that ask users what code they should choose.
As a ficticious example they’d be asked what day of the week ( 1 -
Sunday, 2 - Monday, 3 - Tuesday, etc. )
I’d like to simply create this as an array and pass it to my
collection_select helper. This would save me having to create another
model and migration.
What throws me is that the first member of an array has a zero 0 key
and I want it to be one 1.
Could someone show me the simple way to load an array with key - value
combinations that starts with one 1.
Thank you,
Kathleen

Either:
@array = @hash.to_a
or:
@array = @hash.to_a.sort
depending on whether the order matters. A Hash (in Ruby 1.8.6 and
earlier) is inherently unordered and the conversion to an array gives
elements in the same order that @hash.each would yield them.
