by hash array do you mean an array of hashes ?

unless i’m missing part of the question, you just do it.

array_of_hashes.each_with_index do |some_hash, i|
some_hash[:foo] = :bar
end

If you want to change the array you are iterating over, that isn’t
supported.

Hi,
thanks

but I have instance like this

@restaurant= Restaurant.find(:all,
:select => ‘restaurants.*, 22 AS diffinmiles’
but this is not work

so that i have to not change in view file and i can direct access like
db values ?

any idea ?

Except that is not really what you meant, I’m sure. If you need some
other method to be available on the Restaurant model, just add it in!

class Restaurant
def diffinmiles(my_location)
# do some calculations with other attributes and the passed
parameters
end
end

You’re not actually changing the array here as Fred suggests, you’re
just modifying each member which is perfectly fine (even though, as I
said, not what I think you really want to do here).

Thanks Rob

But actually what I want to do here

I have hash @restaurant

now for each row I want to add diffinmiles and then filter some of rows
from main hash with this new column add

and then sort this new array based on diffin miles

thanks
