Okay, I thought my earlier explanation would be sufficient to help you achieve your goal, but I'll try to explain further: You are starting with this: "myem...@first.com,My Name"; "myem...@second.com,My Name" I can't guess what you want in your final result. There are multiple ways to split and store this. So I'll explain what I would do in this case, assuming I want to keep all the information in the original string: # Start by splitting the string at the semicolons: arr1 = params[ :email ][ :email ].split( ";" ) # Result: [ "myem...@first.com,My Name", "myem...@second.com,My Name" ] # Declare an array to store the final data emails = [] # Enumerate the array we split arr1.each do |str| # For each string in arr1 split at the comma arr2 = str.split(",") # Put the address and name in a hash (keyed by email address in this case) h[arr2[0]] = arr2[1] # Append the hash to the final array emails << h end # Final result: [ { "myem...@first.com": "My Name" }, { "myem...@second.com", "My Name" } ] There might be some shortcut to the above procedure, but I wanted to show all the individual steps to be clear what's happening. As I said before, this is only one possible way to store the results keeping all the original data. You'll have to decide what is best for your particular case. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
