I have some problem with convert to symbol, in Hash object

ruby-talk
1

I use it functionality:

>> Hash[*str.scan(/store\[([^\s,]+)\s*\]=\s*([^,]+)/).flatten]
=> {"fax"=>"80233923293", "name"=>"Ilyas store",
"description"=>"lkjklsdaj", "phone"=>"4999-233-2923"}

The problem with covert string to symbol.

I want to convert "name" to :symbol
  "name"=>"Ilyas store" ---> :name => "Ilyas store"

puts parameter.inspect

Does this help?

>> str = "store[name]=Ilyas store,store[phone]= 4999-233-2923, store
[fax]= 80233923293,store[description]=lkjklsdaj,save=save,cancel=cancel"

Difficult to test without the original string but try something like this:

Hash[*str.scan(/store\[([^\s,]+)\s*\]=\s*([^,]+)/).map{|k, v|
[k.to_sym,v]}.flatten]

Kind regards
