         "duration_seconds"=>120000}]}],
   "overrides_subschedule"=>
    {"name"=>"Overrides",
     "rendered_schedule_entries"=>[]

And I'm tasked with fetching only the summary under schedule => schedule_layers => users => user. This was my code for retrieving that data.

somefile = File.open("out.txt", "w+")
jdoc.fetch("schedule").fetch("schedule_layers").each do |jsonUser|
  somefile.puts jsonUser["users"][0]["user"]["summary"]
  somefile.puts jsonUser["users"][1]["user"]["summary"]
  somefile.puts jsonUser["users"][2]["user"]["summary"]
  somefile.puts jsonUser["users"][3]["user"]["summary"]
  somefile.puts "_" * 80
end

I realized that there the users hash had an array with so thats why I have those weird numbers. Regardless my text file shows this after running this code.

Micheal.Chi
Ashraf.A.Pasha
Ven.Doli
Abby.Silly
__________________________________________________________
Hart.Shu
Man.Sam
Lie.Sigh
Cry.Bye
__________________________________________________________

Lie.N
Habibi Le
Large.Pop
Timmy.Nitt

I sorta understand why I'm only getting four from each section. But I want to find the real code in getting those values in the most beautifulest way.

Answer 1

Not exactly sure what you want, but I think this might be it.

somefile = File.open("out.txt", "w+")
jdoc.fetch("schedule").fetch("schedule_layers").each do |layer|
  layer["users"].each do |user|
    somefile.puts user["user"]["summary"]
  end
  somefile.puts "_" * 80
end

Use each to iterate over every user object within each layer
