Subject: disappearing hash values?

mailbox = File.open(mbox)
    mailbox.each_line {|line|
        linecount += 1
        mboxArray.push line
        if line.include?("filename=")
            haveattach = TRUE
            filename = line.gsub("Content-Disposition: attac
hment;", '')
            filename = filename.gsub("filename=", '')
            filename = filename.gsub(/"/, '')
            filename = filename.gsub(/^ /, '')
            filename = filename.chomp + ".b64"
            filehash = {filename => linecount-2}
            print "filehash[filename] is: " + filehash[filen
ame].to_s + "\n"
            #prints 183 the first time through the file
         end

         if ( line.include?("--(null)") && haveattach )
             print "filehash[filename] is: " + filehash[filen
ame].to_s + "\n"
             #this is now nil for some reason
             print "linecount is: " + linecount.to_s + "\n"
             length = linecount-filehash[filename]
             filehash = {filename => length}
             haveattach = FALSE
         end
    }

why does the value of filehash[filename] disappear in the second "if"?
