Help, I am a noob, just need some advice on this bit of code. I have got most of my program working this part has me stuped i want to get a name and password. Then make the name the key and the password the value. Now it must be user defined.. Then I must be able to pull that hash info again. I thought that return would work... here is my code
def login_prompt
vault = {}
puts "WELCOME! please enter an existing username: "
username = gets.chomp
checkname = Noxread.new
comparename = checkname.read_file
comparename.keys.include?("#{username}")
if comparename == true
puts "please enter your password: "
password = gets.chomp
vault[username]= password
else puts "username already exists!! would you like to retry? (y/n)"
case answer
when /^y/
login_prompt
when /^n/
exit
end
end
end
so that should gather the info. and this is my code to merge that and an hash that i pulled from a file. in a NoxRead class
require_relative 'read' require 'csv'
class Noxwrite
attr_accessor :name :password
def initialize
@name = name
@password = password
end
def upsum
x = Noxread.new
y = x.read_file
z = login_prompt
y.merge(z) {|name, password| name + ',' + password}
return y
end
def write_file
ehash = upsum
CSV.open("data.csv", "wb") do |csv|
csv << ehash
end
end
end
What is the problem with this code. Seems fine, apart from the fact that passwords should not be read like this in open text.
When you write something like
user_hash = login_prompt
user_hash will have the hash as desired
{"username"=>"password"}
