Subject: Hash table questions

Hi all,

I'm filling up a hash table reading data from a file.

coords = {}
File.open('/home/eyp/socceralive/lib/model/zones.dat') do |file|
	while !file.eof? do
		pos = file.readline
		line = file.readline
		data = line.split(';')
	        coords.store(pos, {:CENTER=>data[0], :RIGHT=>data[1], :LEFT=>data[2]})
	end
end

The content oh the hash table is:

coords.each do |key, value|
     puts key, value
end

DC
CENTER2,8,6,10RIGHT0,8,3,10LEFT5,8,8,10
MP
CENTER3,5,7,8RIGHT5,5,8,8LEFT0,5,3,8
M
CENTER2,3,6,7RIGHT5,3,8,7LEFT0,3,3,7
DF
CENTER2,0,6,4RIGHT6,0,8,4LEFT0,0,2,4
CD
CENTER2,2,6,5RIGHT1,2,5,5LEFT3,2,7,5

So I suppose hash table has a 'DC' key, but these sentences return 'false'

@position.post = :DC
puts coords.has_key?(@position.post.to_s)
puts coords.has_key?(@position.post)
puts coords.has_key?('DC')

Why I can't access 'DC' key with @position.post?
