I have a hash:
hash = {"a_1_a" => "1", "a_1_b" => "2", "a_1_c" => "3", "a_2_a" => "3",
"a_2_b" => "4", "a_2_c" => "4"}
What's the best way to get the following sub-hashes:
[{"a_1_a" => "1", "a_1_b" => "2", "a_1_c" => "3"},
{"a_2_a" => "3", "a_2_b" => "4", "a_2_c" => "4"}]
I want them grouped by the key, based on the regexp /^a_(\d+)/. I'll have 50+ key/value pairs in the original hash, so something dynamic would work best, if anyone has any suggestions.
If you're only concerned about the middle component you can use group_by to get you most of the way there:
hash.group_by do |k,v|
k.split('_')[1]
end.values.map do |list|
Hash[list]
end
# => [{"a_1_a"=>"1", "a_1_b"=>"2", "a_1_c"=>"3"}, {"a_2_a"=>"3", "a_2_b"=>"4", "a_2_c"=>"4"}]
The final step is extracting the grouped lists and combining those back into the required hashes.
Code
def partition_hash(hash)
hash.each_with_object({}) do |(k,v), h|
key = k[/(?<=_).+(?=_)/]
h[key] = (h[key] || {}).merge(k=>v)
end.values
end
Example
hash = {"a_1_a"=>"1", "a_1_b"=>"2", "a_1_c"=>"3", "a_2_a"=>"3", "a_2_b"=>"4", "a_2_c"=>"4"}
partition_hash(hash)
#=> [{"a_1_a"=>"1", "a_1_b"=>"2", "a_1_c"=>"3"},
# {"a_2_a"=>"3", "a_2_b"=>"4", "a_2_c"=>"4"}]
Explanation
The steps are as follows.
enum = hash.each_with_object({})
#=> #<Enumerator: {"a_1_a"=>"1", "a_1_b"=>"2", "a_1_c"=>"3", "a_2_a"=>"3",
# "a_2_b"=>"4", "a_2_c"=>"4"}:each_with_object({})>
The first element of this enumerator is generated and passed to the block, and the block variables are computed using parallel assignment.
(k,v), h = enum.next
#=> [["a_1_a", "1"], {}]
k #=> "a_1_a"
v #=> "1"
h #=> {}
and the block calculation is performed.
key = k[/(?<=_).+(?=_)/]
#=> "1"
h[key] = (h[key] || {}).merge(k=>v)
#=> h["1"] = (h["1"] || {}).merge("a_1_a"=>"1")
#=> h["1"] = (nil || {}).merge("a_1_a"=>"1")
#=> h["1"] = {}.merge("a_1_a"=>"1")
#=> h["1"] = {"a_1_a"=>"1"}
so now
h #=> {"1"=>{"a_1_a"=>"1"}}
The next value of enum is now generated and passed to the block, and the following calculations are performed.
(k,v), h = enum.next
#=> [["a_1_b", "2"], {"1"=>{"a_1_a"=>"1"}}]
k #=> "a_1_b"
v #=> "2"
h #=> {"1"=>{"a_1_a"=>"1"}}
key = k[/(?<=_).+(?=_)/]
#=> "1"
h[key] = (h[key] || {}).merge(k=>v)
#=> h["1"] = (h["1"] || {}).merge("a_1_b"=>"2")
#=> h["1"] = ({"a_1_a"=>"1"}} || {}).merge("a_1_b"=>"2")
#=> h["1"] = {"a_1_a"=>"1"}}.merge("a_1_b"=>"2")
#=> h["1"] = {"a_1_a"=>"1", "a_1_b"=>"2"}
After the remaining four elements of enum have been passed to the block the following has is returned.
h #=> {"1"=>{"a_1_a"=>"1", "a_1_b"=>"2", "a_1_c"=>"3"},
# "2"=>{"a_2_a"=>"3", "a_2_b"=>"4", "a_2_c"=>"4"}}
The final step is simply to extract the values.
h.values
#=> [{"a_1_a"=>"1", "a_1_b"=>"2", "a_1_c"=>"3"},
# {"a_2_a"=>"3", "a_2_b"=>"4", "a_2_c"=>"4"}]
I'm fairly a beginner in Ruby and I'm trying to do the following:
Let's say I have two arrays:
array_1 = ["NY", "SF", "NL", "SY"]
array_2 = ["apple", "banana"]
I want to merge the arrays to a hash so each object in array_1 will be assigned with the objects in array_2
Thanks in advance.
x = [:foo, :bar, :baz]
y = [1, 2, 3]
x.zip(y).to_h # => {:foo=>1, :bar=>2, :baz=>3}
You can use the zip method, like so:
Hash[array_2.zip(array_1)]
h = array_1.product([array_2]).to_h
#=> {"NY"=>["apple", "banana"], "SF"=>["apple", "banana"],
# "NL"=>["apple", "banana"], "SY"=>["apple", "banana"]}
We were given Array#to_h in MRI v2.0. For earlier versions, use Kernel#Hash:
h = Hash[array_1.product([array_2])]
but beware:
array_2[0] = "cat"
array_2
#=> ["cat", "banana"]
h #=> {"NY"=>["cat", "banana"], "SF"=>["cat", "banana"],
# "NL"=>["cat", "banana"], "SY"=>["cat", "banana"]}
You may instead want:
h = array_1.each_with_object({}) { |str,h| h[str] = array_2.dup }
#=> {"NY"=>["apple", "banana"], "SF"=>["apple", "banana"],
# "NL"=>["apple", "banana"], "SY"=>["apple", "banana"]}
array_2[0] = "cat"
h #=> {"NY"=>["apple", "banana"], "SF"=>["apple", "banana"],
# "NL"=>["apple", "banana"], "SY"=>["apple", "banana"]}
I'm trying to count occurrences of unique values matching a regex pattern in a hash.
If there's three different values, multiple times, I want to know how much each value occurs.
This is the code I've developed to achieve that so far:
def trim(results)
open = []
results.map { |k, v| v }.each { |n| open << n.to_s.scan(/^closed/) }
puts open.size
end
For some reason, it returns the length of all the values, not just the ones I tried a match on. I've also tried using results.each_value, to no avail.
Another way:
hash = {a: 'foo', b: 'bar', c: 'baz', d: 'foo'}
hash.each_with_object(Hash.new(0)) {|(k,v),h| h[v]+=1 if v.start_with?('foo')}
#=> {"foo"=>2}
or
hash.each_with_object(Hash.new(0)) {|(k,v),h| h[v]+=1 if v =~ /^foo|bar/}
#=> {"foo"=>2, "bar"=>1}
Something like this?
hash = {a: 'foo', b: 'bar', c: 'baz', d: 'foo'}
groups = hash.group_by{ |k, v| v[/(?:foo|bar)/] }
# => {"foo"=>[[:a, "foo"], [:d, "foo"]],
# "bar"=>[[:b, "bar"]],
# nil=>[[:c, "baz"]]}
Notice that there is a nil key, which means the regex didn't match anything. We can get rid of it because we (probably) don't care. Or maybe you do care, in which case, don't get rid of it.
groups.delete(nil)
This counts the number of matching "hits":
groups.map{ |k, v| [k, v.size] }
# => [["foo", 2], ["bar", 1]]
group_by is a magical method and well worthy of learning.
def count(hash, pattern)
hash.each_with_object({}) do |(k, v), counts|
counts[k] = v.count{|s| s.to_s =~ pattern}
end
end
h = { a: ['open', 'closed'], b: ['closed'] }
count(h, /^closed/)
=> {:a=>1, :b=>1}
Does that work for you?
I think it worths to update for RUBY_VERSION #=> "2.7.0" which introduces Enumerable#tally:
h = {a: 'foo', b: 'bar', c: 'baz', d: 'foo'}
h.values.tally #=> {"foo"=>2, "bar"=>1, "baz"=>1}
h.values.tally.select{ |k, _| k=~ /^foo|bar/ } #=> {"foo"=>2, "bar"=>1}
Simple ruby question. Lets say I have an array of 10 strings and I want to move elements at array[3] and array[5] into a totally new array. The new array would then only have the two elements I moved from the first array, AND the first array would then only have 8 elements since two of them have been moved out.
Use Array#slice! to remove the elements from the first array, and append them to the second array with Array#<<:
arr1 = ['Foo', 'Bar', 'Baz', 'Qux']
arr2 = []
arr2 << arr1.slice!(1)
arr2 << arr1.slice!(2)
puts arr1.inspect
puts arr2.inspect
Output:
["Foo", "Baz"]
["Bar", "Qux"]
Depending on your exact situation, you may find other methods on array to be even more useful, such as Enumerable#partition:
arr = ['Foo', 'Bar', 'Baz', 'Qux']
starts_with_b, does_not_start_with_b = arr.partition{|word| word[0] == 'B'}
puts starts_with_b.inspect
puts does_not_start_with_b.inspect
Output:
["Bar", "Baz"]
["Foo", "Qux"]
a = (0..9).map { |i| "el##{i}" }
x = [3, 5].sort_by { |i| -i }.map { |i| a.delete_at(i) }
puts x.inspect
# => ["el#5", "el#3"]
puts a.inspect
# => ["el#0", "el#1", "el#2", "el#4", "el#6", "el#7", "el#8", "el#9"]
As noted in comments, there is some magic to make indices stay in place. This can be avoided by first getting all the desired elements using a.values_at(*indices), then deleting them as above.
Code:
arr = ["null","one","two","three","four","five","six","seven","eight","nine"]
p "Array: #{arr}"
third_el = arr.delete_at(3)
fifth_el = arr.delete_at(4)
first_arr = arr
p "First array: #{first_arr}"
concat_el = third_el + "," + fifth_el
second_arr = concat_el.split(",")
p "Second array: #{second_arr}"
Output:
c:\temp>C:\case.rb
"Array: [\"null\", \"one\", \"two\", \"three\", \"four\", \"five\", \"six\", \"s
even\", \"eight\", \"nine\"]"
"First array: [\"null\", \"one\", \"two\", \"four\", \"six\", \"seven\", \"eight
\", \"nine\"]"
"Second array: [\"three\", \"five\"]"
Why not start deleting from the highest index.
arr = ['Foo', 'Bar', 'Baz', 'Qux']
index_array = [2, 1]
new_ary = index_array.map { |index| arr.delete_at(index) }
new_ary # => ["Baz", "Bar"]
arr # => ["Foo", "Qux"]
Here's one way:
vals = arr.values_at *pulls
arr = arr.values_at *([*(0...arr.size)] - pulls)
Try it.
arr = %w[Now is the time for all Rubyists to code]
pulls = [3,5]
vals = arr.values_at *pulls
#=> ["time", "all"]
arr = arr.values_at *([*(0...arr.size)] - pulls)
#=> ["Now", "is", "the", "for", "Rubyists", "to", "code"]
arr = %w[Now is the time for all Rubyists to code]
pulls = [5,3]
vals = arr.values_at *pulls
#=> ["all", "time"]
arr = arr.values_at *([*(0...arr.size)] - pulls)
#=> ["Now", "is", "the", "for", "Rubyists", "to", "code"]
I've got a hash of the format:
{key1 => [a, b, c], key2 => [d, e, f]}
and I want to end up with:
{ a => key1, b => key1, c => key1, d => key2 ... }
What's the easiest way of achieving this?
I'm using Ruby on Rails.
UPDATE
OK I managed to extract the real object from the server log, it is being pushed via AJAX.
Parameters: {"status"=>{"1"=>["1", "14"], "2"=>["7", "12", "8", "13"]}}
hash = {:key1 => ["a", "b", "c"], :key2 => ["d", "e", "f"]}
first variant
hash.map{|k, v| v.map{|f| {f => k}}}.flatten
#=> [{"a"=>:key1}, {"b"=>:key1}, {"c"=>:key1}, {"d"=>:key2}, {"e"=>:key2}, {"f"=>:key2}]
or
hash.inject({}){|h, (k,v)| v.map{|f| h[f] = k}; h}
#=> {"a"=>:key1, "b"=>:key1, "c"=>:key1, "d"=>:key2, "e"=>:key2, "f"=>:key2}
UPD
ok, your hash is:
hash = {"status"=>{"1"=>["1", "14"], "2"=>["7", "12", "8", "13"]}}
hash["status"].inject({}){|h, (k,v)| v.map{|f| h[f] = k}; h}
#=> {"12"=>"2", "7"=>"2", "13"=>"2", "8"=>"2", "14"=>"1", "1"=>"1"}
Lots of other good answers. Just wanted to toss this one in too for Ruby 2.0 and 1.9.3:
hash = {apple: [1, 14], orange: [7, 12, 8, 13]}
Hash[hash.flat_map{ |k, v| v.map{ |i| [i, k] } }]
# => {1=>:apple, 14=>:apple, 7=>:orange, 12=>:orange, 8=>:orange, 13=>:orange}
This is leveraging: Hash::[] and Enumerable#flat_map
Also in these new versions there is Enumerable::each_with_object which is very similar to Enumerable::inject/Enumerable::reduce:
hash.each_with_object(Hash.new){ |(k, v), inverse|
v.each{ |e| inverse[e] = k }
}
Performing a quick benchmark (Ruby 2.0.0p0; 2012 Macbook Air) using an original hash with 100 keys, each with 100 distinct values:
Hash::[] w/ Enumerable#flat_map
155.7 (±9.0%) i/s - 780 in 5.066286s
Enumerable#each_with_object w/ Enumerable#each
199.7 (±21.0%) i/s - 940 in 5.068926s
Shows that the each_with_object variant is faster for that data set.
Ok, let's guess. You say you have an array but I agree with Benoit that what you probably have is a hash. A functional approach:
h = {:key1 => ["a", "b", "c"], :key2 => ["d", "e", "f"]}
h.map { |k, vs| Hash[vs.map { |v| [v, k] }] }.inject(:merge)
#=> {"a"=>:key1, "b"=>:key1, "c"=>:key1, "d"=>:key2, "e"=>:key2, "f"=>:key2}
Also:
h.map { |k, vs| Hash[vs.product([k])] }.inject(:merge)
#=> {"a"=>:key1, "b"=>:key1, "c"=>:key1, "d"=>:key2, "e"=>:key2, "f"=>:key2}
In the case where a value corresponds to more than one key, like "c" in this example...
{ :key1 => ["a", "b", "c"], :key2 => ["c", "d", "e"]}
...some of the other answers will not give the expected result. We will need the reversed hash to store the keys in arrays, like so:
{ "a" => [:key1], "b" => [:key1], "c" => [:key1, :key2], "d" => [:key2], "e" => [:key2] }
This should do the trick:
reverse = {}
hash.each{ |k,vs|
vs.each{ |v|
reverse[v] ||= []
reverse[v] << k
}
}
This was my use case, and I would have defined my problem much the same way as the OP (in fact, a search for a similar phrase got me here), so I suspect this answer may help other searchers.
If you're looking to reverse a hash formatted like this, the following may help you:
a = {:key1 => ["a", "b", "c"], :key2 => ["d", "e", "f"]}
a.inject({}) do |memo, (key, values)|
values.each {|value| memo[value] = key }
memo
end
this returns:
{"a"=>:key1, "b"=>:key1, "c"=>:key1, "d"=>:key2, "e"=>:key2, "f"=>:key2}
new_hash={}
hash = {"key1" => ['a', 'b', 'c'], "key2" => ['d','e','f']}
hash.each_pair{|key, val|val.each{|v| new_hash[v] = key }}
This gives
new_hash # {"a"=>"key1", "b"=>"key1", "c"=>"key1", "d"=>"key2", "e"=>"key2", "f"=>"key2"}
If you want to correctly deal with duplicate values, then you should use the Hash#inverse
from Facets of Ruby
Hash#inverse preserves duplicate values,
e.g. it ensures that hash.inverse.inverse == hash
either:
use Hash#inverse from here: http://www.unixgods.org/Ruby/invert_hash.html
use Hash#inverse from FacetsOfRuby library 'facets'
usage like this:
require 'facets'
h = {:key1 => [:a, :b, :c], :key2 => [:d, :e, :f]}
=> {:key1=>[:a, :b, :c], :key2=>[:d, :e, :f]}
h.inverse
=> {:a=>:key1, :b=>:key1, :c=>:key1, :d=>:key2, :e=>:key2, :f=>:key2}
The code looks like this:
# this doesn't looks quite as elegant as the other solutions here,
# but if you call inverse twice, it will preserve the elements of the original hash
# true inversion of Ruby Hash / preserves all elements in original hash
# e.g. hash.inverse.inverse ~ h
class Hash
def inverse
i = Hash.new
self.each_pair{ |k,v|
if (v.class == Array)
v.each{ |x|
i[x] = i.has_key?(x) ? [k,i[x]].flatten : k
}
else
i[v] = i.has_key?(v) ? [k,i[v]].flatten : k
end
}
return i
end
end
h = {:key1 => [:a, :b, :c], :key2 => [:d, :e, :f]}
=> {:key1=>[:a, :b, :c], :key2=>[:d, :e, :f]}
h.inverse
=> {:a=>:key1, :b=>:key1, :c=>:key1, :d=>:key2, :e=>:key2, :f=>:key2}
One way to achieve what you're looking for:
arr = [{["k1"] => ["a", "b", "c"]}, {["k2"] => ["d", "e", "f"]}]
results_arr = []
arr.each do |hsh|
hsh.values.flatten.each do |val|
results_arr << { [val] => hsh.keys.first }···
end
end
Result: [{["a"]=>["k1"]}, {["b"]=>["k1"]}, {["c"]=>["k1"]}, {["d"]=>["k2"]}, {["e"]=>["k2"]}, {["f"]=>["k2"]}]
