Status changed from Open to Assigned Assignee set to matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto) Target version set to next minor ---------------------------------------- Feature #6847: Hash#extract https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6847#change-33329 Author: citizen428 (Michael Kohl) Status: Assigned Priority: Normal Assignee: matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto) Category: core Target version: next minor I often need a method to extract "subhashes" from hashes. I often monkey-patched this into hash and found "extract" to be a good name for the method. Afterwards I found out that there actually is a mutating method called "extract!" in ActiveSupport, so I guess the name is kinda established. Here's the Ruby version from my private extension library, if there's any interest in this I would try to re-implement it in C: class Hash def extract(*ks) existing = keys & ks Hash[existing.zip(values_at(*existing))] end end -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
