a=Hash.new{|h,k|
h[k]={}
}
p a[1]=1
a[2][1]=2
#a[2][2][3]=4
p a
I know this can work,but I think it is suck
a=Hash.new{|h,k|
h[k]=Hash.new{|h,k|h[k]=Hash.new{|h,k|h[k]={}}}
}
p a[1]=1
a[2][1]=2
a[2][2][3]=4
a[3][1][1][1]=1
p a
p a
build_hash = proc {|h,k|h[k] = Hash.new &build_hash }
a = Hash.new &build_hash
def recursive_hash
Hash.new { |h, k| h[k] = recursive_hash }
end
a = recursive_hash
Or even
class Hash
def self.recursive
new { |h, k| h[k] = recursive }
end
end
which gives
a = Hash.recursive
=>a[1][2][3][4] = 1
=> 1puts a.inspect
{1=>{2=>{3=>{4=>1}}}}
In addition to what’s already been posted, there’s this, which doesn’t
require any extra variables or methods:
a = Hash.new{|h,k| h[k]=Hash.new &h.default_proc}

Sure. Use Perl.
Oops, sorry. I forgot, datastructure autovivification is wrong,
variables springing into life (or maybe not, read the rest of the method
to find out) inadvertently are good.

Thanks for this - I didn’t know about the default_proc method. Quite
elegant in this case.

That’s okay, it happens to the best of us.

What’s the ruby-way of such things?
e.g.:
int[eth0][ip] = “10.0.0.1”
int[eth0][mask] = “255.255.255.0”
int[eth0][cidr] = “24”
int[eth1][ip] = “10.0.1.1”
int[eth1][mask] = “255.255.255.0”
int[eth1][cidr] = “24”
.
.
.
I like it if I have all these informations handy within one hash. But
even for me as a realy ruby-newby this looks much more like perl than
ruby.
It would be great to hear your thoughts how this would be done “the ruby
way”…
clean and elegant

Tanks for the replies.
I’m just a little bit confused because in ruby everything is lean and
clean but when it comes to hashes of hashes it gets kind of complicated.
For me it looks like ruby has another “concept” of solving such things.

Hmm the context of this statement seems not complete in this thread,
maybe you could elaborate on this a little bit?
Personally I feel that Ruby’s concept of Hashes is clearcut and
exactly the same as in most of its relatives (Perl,Python…).
What exactly would you like to have “simpler”?

You can do that in Ruby, if you want to.
See: http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/255313
irb(main):011:0> int = Hash.new{|h,k| h[k]=Hash.new &h.default_proc}
=> {}
irb(main):012:0> int[:eth0][:ip] = “10.0.0.1”
irb(main):013:0> int[:eth0][:mask] = “255.255.255.0”
irb(main):014:0> int[:eth0][:cidr] = “24”
irb(main):015:0> int[:eth1][:ip] = “10.0.1.1”
irb(main):016:0> int[:eth1][:mask] = “255.255.255.0”
irb(main):017:0> int[:eth1][:cidr] = “24”
irb(main):018:0> int
=> {:eth0=>{:ip=>“10.0.0.1”, :mask=>“255.255.255.0”, :cidr=>“24”},
:eth1=>{:ip=>“10.0.1.1”, :mask=>“255.255.255.0”, :cidr=>“24”}}
Another possibility might be OpenStruct.
irb(main):026:0> require ‘ostruct’
=> true
irb(main):027:0> int = Hash.new{|h,k| h[k]=OpenStruct.new}
=> {}
irb(main):028:0> int[:eth0].ip = “10.0.0.1”
irb(main):029:0> int[:eth0].mask = “255.255.255.0”
irb(main):030:0> int[:eth0].cidr = “24”
irb(main):031:0> int[:eth1].ip = “10.0.1.1”
irb(main):032:0> int[:eth1].mask = “255.255.255.0”
irb(main):033:0> int[:eth1].cidr = “24”
irb(main):034:0> int
=> {:eth0=>#<OpenStruct ip=“10.0.0.1”, mask=“255.255.255.0”, cidr=“24”>,
:eth1=>#<OpenStruct ip=“10.0.1.1”, mask=“255.255.255.0”,

Thanx Mark
This is exactly what i liked to hear
In my personal opinion, multilevel hashes aren’t clean and elegant in
any language.
HoH are quiet common in perl (at least I use them alot), not in Ruby
IMHO.
But as always: TMTOWTDI
I’d try to make an object out of it:
class Interface
attr_accessor :name, :ip, :mask, :cidr
endi = Interface.new
i.name = “eth0”
i.ip = “10.0.0.1”
i.mask = “255.255.255.0”
i.cidr = 24

Its this what you are looking for?
$ ruby <<XXX
miss = lambda {|h,k| h[k] = Hash.new(&miss)}
hash = Hash.new(&miss)
hash[1][2]=3
hash[4]=5
p hash
XXX
{1=>{2=>3}, 4=>5}
Kind regards

That’s clever, but I think the way it automatically creates keys is
wrong. You need to be able to check to see if a key exists without
polluting the hash with a bunch of empties.
Hence my new gem:
