Hi,

Everyone can help me on how to select a text in one Field, see the list  
below;

table : tablename1  
field : field1  
data : {:updated=\>“2009-01-02”, :created=\>“2009-01-01”, :price=\>100.00}

inside may task:

tablename1.all.each { |tablename1|  
unless translations.flatten.any? {|t| t == tablename1.field1}  
puts “#{tablename1.field1}”  
unused += 1  
end  
}

I need only to display the data which are 2009-01-01 under :created=\>,  
and 100.00 under :price=\>.

Thanks in Advance,  
Ferdie
