You would never do that.  You store multiple values in arrays.  For 
instance,

data = ["hello", "hi", "goodbye"]
puts data[1]

--output:--
"hi"

You can get the data out of your file without using regex's like this:

results = []

IO.foreach("data.txt") do |line|
  pieces = line.split("=")
  val = pieces[1].strip   #remove spaces on the left and the right
  val = val[1...-1]   #slice off the quotes
  results << val
end

p results

--output:--
["http://localhost", "User@htmdec.com", "12345678", "iexplore"]
