Get column value of col1 .. col10

Rails
1

Hi,

I have a table with column name like col1, col2, col3, col4 … col10.
In rails, after I get the instance of the class, I would like to use a
for loop to retrieve values from these columns and put them into a hash.
The hash will be used for another find call. Is that possible?

Thanks.

So do you want to basically copy just the part of the hash represented
by col1…col10?

Here’s a start (not tested)

new_hash = {};
(1…10).each do |x|
colname = “col#{x}”
new_hash[colname] = @orig_AR_object.send(colname)
end
