John:

# I want to convert “name” to :symbol

# “name”=\>“Ilyas store” —\> :name =\> “Ilyas store”

sample only,

irb(main):039:0\* h1={“fax”=\>“80233923293”, “name”=\>“Ilyas store”}  
=\> {“name”=\>“Ilyas store”, “fax”=\>“80233923293”}  
irb(main):045:0\* h2 = {}  
irb(main):046:0\> h1.each do |k,v|  
irb(main):048:1\> h2[k.to\_sym] = v  
irb(main):049:1\> end  
irb(main):054:0\> h2  
=\> {:fax=\>“80233923293”, :name=\>“Ilyas store”}
