Cuting it with “\032” make sense only with Marshal.dump. Now my code is more simple: p ut[:logonhours] utstr = ut[:logonhours].to\_s utarr=[] (0…6).each{|g| utarr[g] = utstr[g_3…g_3+2] } # divide by day tmp=utarr[1] (2…6).each{|g| utarr[g-1]=utarr[g] } utarr[6]=tmp ldap.replace\_attribute ut[:dn], :logonhours, utarr.join.to\_ber p ut[:logonhours] But i still have problem with replace\_attribute that give me the same error as written above
