Re^4: OT: Ruby On Rails - your thoughts?

[ fields[ 1..4 ], fields[ 4..5 ], 0, 0 ].flatten should work in Ruby; passing a range to Array#[] returns the specified subarray.

Update: And additionally it'd be more idiomatic to use do . . . end rather than {} around your blocks. Granted I don't think it makes a difference in this case but the later does bind more tightly than the former.

[ fields[ 1..4 ], fields[ 4..5 ], 0, 0 ].flatten

sth.execute( [ ... ] )

ary = [ ... ]; sth.execute( *ary )

def execute( *args )
    args.flatten
    ....
end

sth.execute( fields[ 1..4 ], fields[ 4..5 ], 0, 0 )

And, yes, do..end is more idiomatic, but I'm not comfortable with it yet. I'm sure I'll be making the shift soon enough. :-)

My criteria for good software:

Does it work?
Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?
