This code generates the complaint that "part" is an array, and thus
cannot be converted to a string. How do I iterate over each item in that
array of address data?
I see no problem with that code, except I would write it as:
%w{addr1 addr2 city state zip country}.each do |part|
puts %{<input type="hidden" name="#{part}" value="#{post[part]}" />}
end
You don't have another local variable named part, do you?
When you convert an array to a string, all the elements just get mashed together: %w{foo bar baz}.to_s -> "foobarbaz"

Ah, my mistake. I assumed it was talking about my "part" variable when
it was talking about my reference to post[part.to_s], which returns an
array. I'm not sure it's the tidiest fix, but I changed this to
post[part.to_s].to_s, and it works. Well, that part works, now I have
other issues
%w{addr1 addr2 city state zip country}.each do |part|
puts %{<input type="hidden" name="#{part}" value="#{post[part]}" />}
end
This looks like one of those things I'm going to have to look up! Thanks
for the pointer!
