but I've been trying to figure out how to change the output of the RUBY box from the proper ARRAY display:

["1", "a", "X"]

to one that is 'clean' .... 1 a X

or

1
a
X

I'm thinking the array is extracted into a string format. But I more familliar using PRIMS and still easily confused with RUBY. [need more practise ]

Thanks for info!

.gsub(/\,/,"")

Code: Select all

my_array = ["1/2/3", "a/b/c", "X/Y/Z"]

# Convert rows into sub-arrays
nested_array = my_array.map do |row|
  row.split('/')
end

# You now have a nested array...
# [ ["1","2","3"], ["a","b","c"], ["X","Y","Z"] ]

# Now transpose so that columns become rows and vice versa
transposed_array = nested_array.transpose

# transposed array will now be
# [ ["1","a","X"], ["2","b","Y"], ["3","c","Z"] ]

# Get a column
column = transposed_array[0]  #=> ["1", "a", "X"}

BTW, I see that in ruby you can use inputs by @names. What about named outputs?

output 'myOutputName', value
