ARRAY ACCESS AND INSERTION RECORD DATABASE - ruby-on-rails

Question

I would need to access the array to retrieve the information and insert it into the database (Code, Customer, Phone1, Phone2). Someone can help me?
{
:recordset => {
:row => [
[0] {
:property => [
[0] {
:name => "Code",
:value => "C0001"
},
[1] {
:name => "Customer",
:value => "ROSSI MARIO"
},
[2] {
:name => "Phone1",
:value => "1234567890"
}
]
},
[1] {
:property => [
[0] {
:name => "Code",
:value => "C0002"
},
[1] {
:name => "Customer",
:value => "VERDE VINCENT"
},
[2] {
:name => "Phone1",
:value => "9876543210"
},
[3] {
:name => "Phone2",
:value => "2468101214"
}
]
}
]
},
:#xmlns => "http://localhost/test"
}
p.s. The Phone2 value during the SOAP call is only displayed if it is present in an archive
Thank you

Your data doesn't look like a valid ruby structure. Once you are able to convert it to be more ruby-like, you can make use of each_with_object to generate a well formatted set of attributes and their values from your data:
data
=> {:recordset=>{
:row=>[{
:property=>[
{:name=>"Code", :value=>"C0001"},
{:name=>"Customer", :value=>"ROSSI MARIO"},
{:name=>"Phone1", :value=>"1234567890"}
]
}, {
:property=>[
{:name=>"Code", :value=>"C0002"},
{:name=>"Customer", :value=>"VERDE VINCENT"},
{:name=>"Phone1", :value=>"9876543210"},
{:name=>"Phone2", :value=>"2468101214"}
]
}]
},
:#xmlns=>"http://localhost/test"}
data.keys
=> [:recordset, :#xmlns]
data[:recordset][:row].count
=> 2 # There are 2 set of attribute-value pairs
result = data[:recordset][:row].each_with_object([]) do |hash, out|
out << hash[:property].each_with_object({}) do |h, o|
o[h[:name]] = h[:value]
end
end
=> [{"Code"=>"C0001", "Customer"=>"ROSSI MARIO", "Phone1"=>"1234567890"},
{"Code"=>"C0002", "Customer"=>"VERDE VINCENT", "Phone1"=>"9876543210", "Phone2"=>"2468101214"}]
Now, you can iterate over result and create respective records in database.
