Subject: How do you make a hash key using a wordy string?

Hello everyone.

How do you make a hash key using a string? For instance,

txt file...
1 This is a string 22234343
2 This is another string 434355455
3 This is a different string 34324545


file = File.open("mytext4hash.txt")
file.each_line do |line|
rows = {}
key, val = line.chomp.split("""",4)
rows[key] = val

#this is where I am having issue.
puts rows["1 This is a string"] #need this to point to only "22234343"

end


Thanks in advance. MC
