I'm trying to parse a file that looks like this:

text....
text....
numbers....

IDS_SOMETHIGN_SOMETHING  "giving you cookies in a sec"
IDX_SOMETHING_SOMETHIGN  "hi again"
IDY_SMOTHIENG_SOMETHIGN_SOMTHIGN  "HELO world"
ID_ONE_THING     "hello how are you"
ID_ONETHINGTOO   "give me a number"
ID_ONEMORE_THING_ANDMORE   "this are strings"

I'm trying to create a hash table but i'm not sure what's wrong with my 
delimeters:

class Parser

  table = { }
  IO.foreach('resurcefiletest') { |line|
   if line =~ /^ID* (.*?) = \s* " (.*?) "/x
    #if line =~ /^ \s* " (.*?) " \s* = \s* " (.*?) "/x
      table[ $1 ] = $2
    end
  }

  #puts table["StaplingTitle"]
  p table


end

can somebody give me a hand?

thanks,
mike
