i need to pull out some specific values from a nested hash, but nils are driving me crazy. in the following example, if address_details, country, administrative_area, locality OR postal_code are nil i get "The error occurred while evaluating nil.[]"
zip = placemark['address_details']['country']['administrative_area'] ['locality']['postal_code']['postal_code_number'] i tried unless placemark['address_details']['country']['administrative_area'] ['locality']['postal_code']['postal_code_number'].nil? but if anything above postal_code_number is nil i still get the error. i could check each level but that is really ugly. is there a easy way to check if postal_code_number exists? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
