finding and deleting in activerecord array

Hi all,

Groups has_ many users.

I have 2 activerecord arrays: 1. groups = containing groups with its users. 2. users = containing users attending an event.

I start by iterating over the groups. Then I iterate over the users in the second array and search for that user in the first array (see code). If the user is found, show hime and delete him from the array.

<% groups.each do |group| %> <h2><%= group.title %></h2>   <% users.each do |user| %>     # I want to search for user in group.users     # and if present show here and remove the user from     # group.users (remove from the array not from the database)   <% end %> <% end %>

I don't know how to find a user in another active record array and then delete him.

All help is greatly appreciated.

thanks Stijn

Hi all,

Groups has_ many users.

  If one Group has_many Users, then you can access group[1]'s users using the group's method 'users'.

group = Group.find(1) users_group_one = group.users

<% groups.each do |group| %>    <% group.users.each do |user| %>    <% end %> <% end %>

I know how to access the users but I don't know how to search in the array (not the database) and then delete a user if a match is found.

So, provide examples and don't do top-posting.

group: 1 user: 1

group = Group.find(1) user = group.users.find(1) user.delete
