Hi,

the array below is the output from a find(:all)

[#\<Boekingen affnr: “vl999”, pnr: “MA5OSG”, agent: “monties”,  
ticket\_prijs: #BigDecimal:b775f4c4,‘0.138E3’,4(12), aantal\_pers: 2,  
ticket\_fees: nil, res\_kosten: nil, commissie: nil, ticket\_verz: nil,  
tax: nil, total\_prijs: #BigDecimal:b775f230,‘0.36316E3’,8(12), bet\_id:

servicemail\_status: nil, factory\_master\_id: 1\>,] ectect

Now i want to store all the values of the “ticket\_fees” in a new array.

like this…

ticket\_fee = [“2”, “3”, “1”]

How can i do this(newbie)

Thanks…remco

values = ary.collect {|elem| elem.ticket\_fees }

In Rails and newer Ruby environments, you can also do this:

values = ary.collect( &:ticket\_fees )

But be careful with the latter form (known as “symbol to proc”). In Ruby  
1.8  
it’s much slower than using a regular block.
