Okay so here's the deal, I've been googling for ages to find a solution to this and while there are many out there, they don't seem to do the job I'm looking for.
Basically I have an array structured like this
["item 1", "item 2", "item 3", "item 4"]
I want to convert this to a Hash so it looks like this
{ "item 1" => "item 2", "item 3" => "item 4" }
i.e. the items that are on the 'even' indexes are the keys and the items on the 'odd' indexes are the values.
Any ideas how to do this cleanly? I suppose a brute force method would be to just pull out all the even indexes into a separate array and then loop around them to add the values.
