# in Ruby module “D3” i have defined :

# def dumpAttributes(strPrefix = “”) @attributes.each\_pair do | key, value | puts “#{strPrefix}#{key} : #{value}” end end

and in my Controller when i use :  
@mdb.dumpAttributes("==\> ")

i can see in radrail console that i get all values with key printed  
using puts, but instead of puts i want to store in some array so tht i  
can use same arry in my view

Can anyone suggest me how i can use “key,value” from method into my  
controller.

Iam not good in ROR , so iam sorry if it’s a silly question.

Help me.

Rama

Assuming that @attributes is a Hash:

def dumpAttributes(strPrefix = “”)  
@attributes.collect do |key,value|  
“#{strPrefix}#{key} : #{value}”  
end  
end

Collect is like each\_pair but returns an Array the block (do … end)  
evaluation results.

Have fun
