So google for a solution to this problem and found myself here: http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk/browse_thread/thread/eaa34998a74831b4/58b80fe0d4eadb1a?lnk=gst&q=+how+to+monkeypatch+Hash%27s+%5B%5D%3D+method+#58b80fe0d4eadb1a
But while reading, and admittedly not quite getting the solution, I had a bright moment to balance out the stupid moment, realising that [] = already has an alias to which you can delegate: class Hash def []= key, value store processKey(key), processValue(value) end end Hope it helps --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
