...how do i do this?Does the Array#include? method do what you need? Perhaps a more
fleshed-out example might help?Array#include is EXACTLY what i need, but syntaxtetically (if u get the
drift) i'm not sure how to do it:case [3, 45, 6, 'abc'].inlcude?
when 1: 'no good'
when 3: 'good!'
when 'lolo': 'no good'
end(the above doesn't work. it's gives a 'not enough arguments' error. how
do i do it correctly?)You could possibly do something like the following, but it's pretty dangerous:
class Object
alias_method :old_case_equal, :===def ===(other)
case other
when Array:
other.include? self
else
old_case_equal(other)
end
end
endLet's go back to the "pretty dangerous" thing
I think this is
beyond the acceptable danger threshold; you're actually making it so
that Array#=== won't work any more, which could really make things
blow up.David
You don't need to do the 'dangerous' thing to create the same effect. You just need to create a proxy object that when === is called on it it delegates to the original method. See my post further down the list for full details.
case [2,3,4].casey.include?
when 1
puts "a"
when 2
puts "b"
else
puts "c"
end
