get ruby hash key value using Erubis

Question

I have a hash:

hash = "email_address"=>"test@example.com"

I would like to get the value from this hash which is "test@example.com" using erubis. This doesn't work:

<% 
pp hash.[email_address]
%>

provide the `params` value for more help – Pritesh Jain Aug 07 '12 at 10:27 — Pritesh Jain, Aug 07 '12 at 10:27

Did you try this?

<%= pp hash["email_address"] %>

or

<%= pp hash[:email_address] %>

The `hash` variable you have, is it an Array or Hash? – Kulbir Saini Aug 07 '12 at 09:37
if I am not mistaken it is hash..... Other than email_address I am getting other hashes as well.. "email_address"=>"test@example.com", "phone_number"=>"434344", "mobile_number"=>"56546565", – Rene Zammit Aug 07 '12 at 09:38
Not necessary. It can be an array of hashes. Try to print `hash.class`. – Kulbir Saini Aug 07 '12 at 09:59
OMG. I am sorry but I guess I can't help here. – Kulbir Saini Aug 07 '12 at 10:06
