I'm quite new to Ruby and I can understand that athere are better way to 
do things, what I would like to avoid is to write something like this 
(that works)

line =~ /(\w*)=([0-9A-Za-z -.:]*),([0-9A-Za-z -.:]*),([0-9A-Za-z 
-.:]*),([0-9]*),([0-9]*),([0-9]*),([0-9]*),([0-9]*),([0-9]*),([0-9]*),([0-9]*),([0-9]*),([0-9]*)/

I wanted to this in one line but in a more mainable way, otherwise I 
could always pars the string char by char.
