On my work with churchservicefinder.com, I wanted to parse out the following string, and produce a nested hash of the query part, just like rails does.I search the web and found no answer. So I searched through the rails source code and found the answer in the Rack gem.The command is Rack::Utils.parsenestedqueryHere is my example:Loading development environment (Rails 2.3.4)>> ab = "http://localhost:3000/churches/list/address/27713/5?fr[ed]=0&fr[ed]=1&fr[d]=0&fr[tz]=1&fr[et]=0&fr[et]=1&fr[tw]=0&fr[topr]=before&fr[topt(4i)]=9&fr[topt(5i)]=00&commit=Filter+Results"=> "http://localhost:3000/churches/list/address/27713/5?fr[ed]=0&fr[ed]=1&fr[d]=0&fr[tz]=1&fr[et]=0&fr[et]=1&fr[tw]=0&fr[topr]=before&fr[topt(4i)]=9&fr[topt(5i)]=00&commit=Filter+Results">> c = URI.parse(ab)=> #>>?> d = Rack::Utils.parsenestedquery(c.query)=> {"commit"=>"Filter Results", "fr"=>{"topt(4i)"=>"9", "topt(5i)"=>"00", "tw"=>"0", "et"=>"1", "d"=>"0", "tz"=>"1", "topr"=>"before", "ed"=>"1"}}>> d = Rack::Utils.parsenestedquery(c.query).symbolizekeys=> {:commit=>"Filter Results", :fr=>{"topt(4i)"=>"9", "topt(5i)"=>"00", "tw"=>"0", "et"=>"1", "d"=>"0", "tz"=>"1", "topr"=>"before", "ed"=>"1"}}>> e = d[:fr].symbolizekeys=> {:tz=>"1", :d=>"0", :"topt(4i)"=>"9", :ed=>"1", :et=>"1", :"topt(5i)"=>"00", :tw=>"0", :t_opr=>"before"}
