Subject: is it possible to create a hash dynamically?

Hi,

I am trying to build a dynamic hash map

<CODE>
  def extract(xml, path)
      require 'rexml/document'
      xml = xml.to_s.gsub("utf-16", "utf-8")
      doc = REXML::Document.new(xml)
      doc.root.each_element(path) do |element|
          element.each_element do |node|
          puts "name: #{node.name} text: #{node.text}"
          @xml_data = {node.name => node.text}
        end
      end
      return @xml_data
    end
</CODE>

However, the @xml_data is always returning 1 element

Thanks

Aidy
