How to convert specific format array into hash [closed]

Question

I have an array:

ar = ["p=abhZRAh7Un", "a=2", "c=1", "l=3033102", "r=1", "rt=mr", "pid=136330865", "pdid=AiOIhH2vzMPqvhYkxXOxeA%3D%3D", "lks=54.0311", "fks=54.0311"]

and need to convert it into a hash with keys p, a, c, etc. and values – whatever is to the right of the equal sign. What is an elegant way to do that in ruby?

Answer 1

Hash[ar.map{|s| s.split("=")}]

Answer 2

require 'cgi'
ar = ["p=abhZRAh7Un", "a=2", "c=1", "l=3033102", "r=1", "rt=mr", "pid=136330865", "pdid=AiOIhH2vzMPqvhYkxXOxeA%3D%3D", "lks=54.0311", "fks=54.0311"]
CGI.parse(ar.join('&'))

outputs:

=> {"rt"=>["mr"], "fks"=>["54.0311"], "pid"=>["136330865"], "lks"=>["54.0311"], "pdid"=>["AiOIhH2vzMPqvhYkxXOxeA=="], "r"=>["1"], "l"=>["3033102"], "c"=>["1"], "a"=>["2"], "p"=>["abhZRAh7Un"]}
