Subject: Re: How do you read text file by creating a Hash in a script?

yes I meant to read it into an Hash. Can you give me a snippet? I just 
can't see it.

file = File.open("logzT09.txt")
rows = []
file.each_line do |line|
rows << line.split(" ")[2]
end
p rows

I know this is an array so it will not work.

I want to be able to say...if first row's data = '00834' then set a new 
variable in another script of what data is availabe in that same row 
'00834' following that number element. I just don't know how to use a 
hash instead. The hash would be better since I can ,maybe, go by the 
data availble instead of using a column or row id. I dont'know..I'll 
keep at it. Thanks though.
