How to merge 3 hashes? - ruby

Question

I have been trying to get some information from a table into a hash so this is the code I have a HTML table like below, and Im extracting party_names and types and merging them in the single hash. Now I need to merge another hash with party addresses. I am able to get the address but the table structure is a bit unusual so I'm not sure how to merge the party address with the party names the one who has the address.
require 'nokogiri'
html = ' <table class="detailRecordTable"><tbody><tr>

The out put I have currrently is like this
{:part_name=>"SMALL, DANIEL", :party_type=>"Appellant &nbsp"}
{:part_name=>"KELLY, MARK EDWARD", :party_type=>"Attorney for Appellant"}

{:part_name=>"GREENWALD, DOUGLASMARK", :party_type=>"Attorney for Respondent"}
{:part_name=>"BENJAMIN, SAMANTHA NICOLE", :party_type=>"Co-Counsel for Respondent"}
how I am able to get the party address but how can I merge it with #party_names_and_types so I have the output like this
{:part_name=>"SMALL, DANIEL", :party_type=>"Appellant &nbsp"}
{:part_name=>"KELLY, MARK EDWARD", :party_type=>"Attorney for Appellant", :party_address => "134 N WATER STREETLIBERTY,MO 64068"}

Answer 1

You were right about the table structure being "a bit unusual".
The logic that you implemented, I won't say it was wrong, but for this table, I won't go with it since the associated values (like party name and party address) were in different rows.
Here is the code that I wrote to get the expected output as mentioned by you
require 'nokogiri'
# html = 'your provided html code...'
doc = Nokogiri::HTML(html)
rows = doc.xpath("//table[#class='detailRecordTable']//tr")
#party_names_and_types = []
start = 0
step = 5
def format_text(text)
text.strip.gsub(" ", "").gsub("\n", ' ').gsub("\t", '')
end
def get_party_name_and_type(text)
parts = text.split(',')
name = parts.length == 3 ? "#{parts[0]}, #{parts[1]}" : parts[0]
party_type = format_text(parts[-1].strip) if parts && parts.length >= 2
{ party_name: name, party_type: party_type }
end
while start < rows.count
data_rows = rows.slice(start, step)
[0, 3].each do |row_num|
if row_num == 0
[1, 3].each do |col_num|
party_details = get_party_name_and_type(
format_text(data_rows[row_num].children.filter("td")[col_num].text)
)
address = data_rows[row_num+1].children.filter("td")[3].text if col_num == 3
party_details[:party_address] = format_text(address) unless address.nil? || address.empty?
#party_names_and_types << party_details
end
else
party_details = get_party_name_and_type(
format_text(data_rows[3].children.filter("td")[3].text)
)
address = data_rows[row_num+1].children.filter("td")[3].text
party_details[:party_address] = format_text(address) unless address.nil? || address.empty?
#party_names_and_types << party_details
end
end
start += step
end
puts "======#party_names_and_types======"
puts #party_names_and_types
Output:
======#party_names_and_types======
{:party_name=>"SMALL , DANIEL", :party_type=>"Appellant  &nbsp"}
{:party_name=>"KELLY , MARK EDWARD ", :party_type=>"Attorney for Appellant", :party_address=>"134 N WATER STREETLIBERTY, MO 64068"}
{:party_name=>"PITTMAN , KRISTI LANAE ", :party_type=>"Co-Counsel for Appellant", :party_address=>"134 NORTH WATER STREETLIBERTY, MO 64068"}
{:party_name=>"RED SIMPSON, INC. ", :party_type=>"Respondent   "}
{:party_name=>"GREENWALD , DOUGLAS MARK ", :party_type=>"Attorney for Respondent", :party_address=>"10 EAST CAMBRIDGE CIRCLE DRIVEKANSAS CITY, KS 66103"}
{:party_name=>"BENJAMIN, SAMANTHA NICOLE ", :party_type=>"Co-Counsel for Respondent", :party_address=>"MCANANY VAN CLEVE AND PHILLIPS10 E CAMBRIDGE CIRCLE DRSTE 300KANSAS CITY, KS 66103 Business:[phone]"}
I'll update the answer to explain the logic in some time.
Hope this helps.
