Convert an array to a hash with key definitions
First of all I'm relatively new to Ruby, so if there's a easier way
of doing this I would love to know about it :)
Use it like this:

1 2 class Array 3 def to_h(key_definition) 4 result_hash = Hash.new() 5 6 counter = 0 7 key_definition.each do |definition| 8 if not self[counter] == nil then 9 result_hash[definition] = self[counter].strip 10 else 11 # Insert the key definition with a empty value. 12 # Because we probably still want the hash to contain the key. 13 result_hash[definition] = "" 14 end 15 # For some reason counter.next didn't work here.... 16 counter = counter + 1 17 end 18 19 return result_hash 20 end 21 end
Use it like this:
1 2 key_definitions = Array['foo', 'bar', 'foobar', 'extra'] 3 some_values = Array['bla', 99, 'blabla'] 4 5 some_values.to_h(key_definitions) # => {'foo' => 'bla', 'bar' => 99, 'foobar' => 'blabla', 'extra' => ''}
