Ruby delete_if block

This is using Ruby 1.9.

I have a delete_if block:

@logHash[date].delete_if{ | logItem | logItem.name == name }

Where logItem.name is the name of the logItem and name is the name of the logItem I'm looking for. This works fine, except it deletes each logItem with the specif开发者_如何学JAVAied name. Is there a way to find the first item with an equal name and only delete that? So if there are two logItems that have the same name, I only want to delete one of them. Any ideas?

I'd use Array#index to find the index of the first item which had a matching name, and then Array#delete_at to delete it.

index_to_delete = @logHash[date].index {|log_item| log_item.name == name}
@logHash[date].delete_at(index_to_delete)
