This is from my blogging app. I'd like to extract a private method that would call group_by for an array of items passed to it, and take a method argument for what to group the records by. At least the first two code lines are exactly the same. I tried using eval() but was unsuccessful at passing a method argument in to be used within the group_by block. any help?</p> <pre># stats is an array @popular_urls = stats.group_by{|s| s.request_uri}.sort_by {|s| s.second.size}.reverse @referrers = stats.group_by{|s| s.referrer}.sort_by {|s| s.second.size}.reverse @ip_addresses = stats.reject{|s| s.remote_ip.blank?}.group_by{|s| s.remote_ip}.sort_by {|s| s.second.size}.reverse @searches = Search.all.group_by{|s| s.query}.sort_by {|s| s.second.size}.reverse # FIXME go through site.searches association </pre> webandy.myopenid.com no-email@refactormycode.com
