hi

i wasnt sure i had recieved the answers i was looking for. I was 
provided with a few different bits of code which im very grateful for 
but I was unable to get working. one of the solutions provided by the 
previous threat i will post below. Im not provided with any output at 
all. I was to maintain the tag count as well as creating the hash. if 
you could point out my errors id be extremly grateful

thanks

  require 'getoptlong'

  opts = GetoptLong.new(
    ['--style', '-n', GetoptLong::NO_ARGUMENT ],
    ['--database', '-i', GetoptLong::REQUIRED_ARGUMENT]
  )

  $linecount = 0

  opts.each do |opt, arg|
    case opt
      when '--style'
         require arg
      when '--database'
    end
  end
#
#
#
# process options
#
#
#
  File.open('reference.txt').each do |line|
    if line =~ /^tag:/i
      $linecount += 1
    end
  end
    puts $linecount

  linecount = 0
  results =  []
  hash = {}
  File.open('reference.txt').each do |line|
    m = line.match /^(\w+):\s*([\w+,\s]+)$/
    unless m
      results << hash unless hash.empty?
      hash = {}
    else
      linecount += 1
      hash[m[1]] = m[2].chomp
    end
  end
