From within irb, I'm creating a hash and populating it with the following data. irb(main):007:0> {:QHector => 1967, :WKelly => 2551, :ECron => 0220, :VLaura => 4003, :LWalter => 1188} Why is the value for the ':ECron' coming back as 144 instead of 0220? => {:ECron=>144, :VLaura=>4003, :LWalter=>1188, :QHector=>1967, :WKelly=>2551} irb(main):008:0> Thanks for your help in advance. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
