Subject: Another Newb asks questions.

Ok, recently started "trying" to learn this wonderful language, but am 
experiencing major problems with a section of code that I think "should" 
work.. and my brain is so convinced that I did it correctly that I can't 
see some obvious error.  Ive isolated the problem to this single section 
of code.. what do you all think?


#This section reads data files and saves odd lines as the key, even 
lines as the value for a hash.

if Dir["/Program Files/.../data/"].last != nil
        script_data_dir = "/Program Files/.../data/"
end
build_hash = Proc.new do |type|
		hash.new = type_hash
		file.open("#{script_data_dir}type.dat", "r") { |file|
			data = file.readlines
			data.delete_if { |line| line.chomp.empty? }
				until data.empty?
				$type_hash[data.shift.chomp] = data.shift.chomp
				end
		}
end
build_hash.call(test)
end

Thanks for any help in advance..

Joseph
