How to find a hash key containing a matching value

Question

Given I have the below clients hash, is there a quick ruby way (without having to write a multi-line script) to obtain the key given I want to match the cli

Answer 1

The best way to find the key for a particular value is to use key method that is available for a hash....

gender = {"MALE" => 1, "FEMALE" => 2}
gender.key(1) #=> MALE

I hope it solves your problem...
