What I do might be enough for your purpose

 S=3DStruct.new(:key, :value)
=3D> S
irb(main):002:0>  r=3D%r{(\w+)\s*=3D\s*(.*)}
=3D> /(\w+)\s*=3D\s*(.*)/
irb(main):003:0> m=3D r.match("name =3D Tom Pollard")
=3D> #<MatchData:0xb7dfbb5c>
irb(main):004:0> s=3DS.new(*m.captures)
=3D> #<struct S key=3D"name", value=3D"Tom Pollard">
irb(main):005:0> s.key
=3D> "name"
irb(main):006:0>  s.value
=3D> "Tom Pollard"

this could easily be wrapped into a class BTW.

We have not succeeded in answering all of our questions.
In fact, in some ways, we are more confused than ever.
But we feel we are confused on a higher level and about more important
things.
