how would I iterate over a hash, such as

x = { 'a' => "hi", 'b' => nil, 'c' => "do"}

and replace nil values with 'foo' then return the hash again?

x.each{ |k,v| x[k] =3D 'foo' unless v }

However, it is not always sane to alter something while you are
iterating over it. So,

h =3D {}
x.each{ |k,v| h[k] =3D v.nil? ? v : 'foo' }
x.replace(h)

Or use Facets Enumerable#mash (alias #graph)

require 'facets/enumerable/mash'

x =3D x.mash{ |k,v| [k, v.nil? ? v : 'foo'] }

http://facets.rubyforge.org/doc/api/...e.html#M000429

Thank you!

However, I am getting undefined method 'mash' even though I do require
'facets/enumerable/mash'

am I missing something?

h.keys.each {|d| h[d] =3D "foo" if h[d] =3D=3D nil}

Don't think so. It's working fine for me.

What version of Ruby and Facets and what platform are you running?

~/temp$ cat -b temp.rb
1 require 'pp'

2 class Hash
3 def replace_value old, new
4 self.inject({}) do |result,pair|
5 k, v = pair[0], pair[1]
6 result[k] = (v == old) ? new : v
7 result
8 end
9 end
10 end

11 x = { 'a' => "hi", 'b' => nil, 'c' => "do", :d => nil }
12 pp x
13 y = x.replace_value(nil, 'foo')
14 pp y
~/temp$ ruby temp.rb
{"a"=>"hi", "b"=>nil, :d=>nil, "c"=>"do"}
{"a"=>"hi", "b"=>"foo", "c"=>"do", :d=>"foo"}

For anyone who is interested, here's the definition (and some side
notes about how it evolved).

def mash(&yld)
if yld
inject({}) do |h, *kv| # Used to be inject({}) do |h,kv|
r =3D *yld[*kv] # The *-op works different from to_a on
single element hash!!!
nk, nv =3D *r # Used to be nk, nv =3D
*yld[*kv].to_a.flatten
h[nk] =3D nv
h
end
else
Enumerator.new(self,:mash) # Used to be Hash[*self.to_a]
end
end

Not bad. Let's tighten it up a little:

class Hash
def replace_value(old, new)
self.inject({}) do |result, (key, existing_value)|
result[key] = (value == old) ? new : existing_value
result
end
end
end

This isn't bad, but you wouldn't want to do this for large Hashes since you
end up copying the original.
