Subject: [ruby-talk:28225] Hash.keys Q

Hi all

I have written my first ruby program, and it was fun, but there is one
litle detail i'm wondering about.
The program logs on/off to my isp via a slightly modified telnet
function. The options for "telnet" is a hash read from a file.

File.foreach(conffile){ |l| options[$1]= $2 if l ~= /(.*):\s+(.*)/ }
the conffile looks like this:

Host: IP-addr.
Port: portnr.
Name: username
Password: password

Now options.keys returns ["Password", "Host", "Port", "Name"]

I would expect ["Host", "Port", "Name", "Password"]

is there an explanation for this ?

The program is about 70 lines, so i could post it in case it is me doing
something stupid. (very likely :-) )
