Hi there, I'm trying to merge a hash with the key/values of string in ruby. i.e. h = {:day => 4, :month => 8, :year => 2010} s = "/my/crazy/url/:day/:month/:year" puts s.interpolate(h) All I've found is to iterate the keys and replace the values. But I'm not sure if there's a better way doing this? :) class String  def interpolate(e)    self if e.each{|k, v| self.gsub!(":#{k}", "#{v}")}  end end Thanks
