Ruby question - Filtering array duplications

[kortezzzz]

Hi,

I tried few methods for this from the Ruby guide, but couldn't translate them with correct syntax in FS.

The example:
We have a given array:
dog
dog
frog
fish
cat
cat

We need to filter the duplications which are "dog" and "cat" and end up with
dog
frog
fish
cat

What would be the correct syntax for that?

[DaveyBoy]

Try array.uniq

Thanks Dave. I tried it but couldn't formulate it correctly. What exact syntax would you use to make it work in FS?

[DaveyBoy]

Like so:

["dog","dog","frog","fish","cat","cat"].uniq

Here's what I use for reference:
https://ruby-doc.org/core-1.9.3/Array.html#method-i-uniq

Hope this helps

Thanks,

But what if the array is not pre-determined (to "dog", cat", etc.)? Is there any kind of code that can recognize duplications in any given array?

[DaveyBoy]

Hmmm . . .I don't really understand what you're asking, uniq will remove any and all dupes as far as I know.

Can you be more specific in what you are trying to achieve?

DaveyBoy is right. The solution to what you described is Array #uniq, and it doesn't matter, what exactly is in the arrays, as long as the objects are comparable.

Ok, so there is a method for this
But how I write it correctly inside FS Ruby module? Tried to formulate a code, but it didn't worked for me, so seems like I'm doing something wrong.

Post us an example of the code, so we can see what you are trying to do.

Found how to formulate it correctrlly in FS. An example schematic is attached.

Cheers!
