I have a problem,

please check the code

Fields = Array.new  
Fields [0] = “sno”  
Fields [1] = “username”  
Fields [2] = “designation”  
Fields [3] = “salary”  
Fields [4] = “dob”  
Fields [5] = “email”  
Fields [6] = “doj”

These are the fields of the object ‘Employee’

The Employees array contains of the set of employee objects…

I need to have the array of hashes as  
[{employee\_record1},{employee\_record2}… n records]

For this i tried as the…

result = []

for employee in Employees  
res = {}  
for field in fields  
res \<\< { field =\> employee.send(field)}  
end  
result \<\< res  
end  
But it is not working…

Finally i have to replace the ‘result’ with the PDF::SimpleTable.data  
through the statement

=\> table.data.replace result

which accepts only the hashes… whose columns are the keys and the  
column  
data as values

Please Help me Thank You
