String keys in hash

Konlin

Hi all,

My rails app is going to count sth based on poll id in the url. The url
looks like:
http://address.com?id=dwNKiItvcyrQ5sycnIhmJablDfXsc9tshaGIVyNIei7.e7&some_other_...

In a controller, I've created a hash where the keys are the ids:

@codes = {
'dwNKiItvcyrQ5sycnIhmJablDfXsc9tshaGIVyNIei7.e7' =>
{:partner_id => 0,
:partner_name => 'sth',
:page_number => 1},
...
}

Then i do:

poll_id = '"' + params['id'] + '"'

The problem is, @codes[poll_id] returns nil.

Otherwise, @codes["dwNKiItvcyrQ5sycnIhmJablDfXsc9tshaGIVyNIei7.e7"]
works ok. What am I doing wrong if the keys are the same and explicite
string works while variable doesn't?

Can you explain me that and write how to solve that problem?

Thanks in advance, greetz

Why are you wrapping params['id'] in double quotes? If params['id'] is
already equal to your key in @codes, you can just use:

@codes[params['id']]
