Howdy. I imagine this is an elementary Ruby question, but I'd love to learn the right Ruby idiom for this.
I'd like to take the results of an ActiveRecord.find() and turn them into an array of arrays [[item1_col1,item1_col2], [item2_col1, item2_col2]]. Here's my code sample of the brute force way I'm doing it, but I bet it can be reduced fewer lines of code... @crit_sections = Hash.new x = Reference.find( :all, :select => "refid,name", :conditions => "ref_type = 'Division'", :order => "name") ar = [] x.each do |xi| ar.push([xi.refid, xi.name]) end @crit_sections["division"] = ar Much thanks!
