/*
Depends what you want to do with it. If you want to be able to find an
entry
E123456 quickly, then you'd use a hash. If you want to keep only the
first/last entry for a particular key (as it seems you do), using a hash
speeds things up here too.
*/

i don't need to find all entries E..... , but collect all datas
that belong to the different E.....

i want a collection for every E... that occurs, with all the lines
(except the E... itself) that contain that E in it

/*
Try:

efas = Hash.new
...
    efas[$3] = [$1,$2,$4,$5,$6] unless efas.has_key?($3)
...
puts efas.inspect
*/

that gives me only one dataset in the hash, but there are more
entries that have E123456 in it.
