Subject: File Contents into Hash Table?

Hello,

I'm trying put some file contents into a hash table. The file contains
something like these lines, of the format:

"..."=>65,
".."=>66,
"["=>67,
"]"=>68,
"[]="=>69,
"<<"=>70,
">>"=>71,
"-="=>72,
"."=>73,
","=>74,
"("=>75,
")"=>76,

Where each "_something_"=_some_number_, is on a separate line. I
basically need to put all these lines into a hash table. They're already
in the hash format as you can see, with commas separating each entry and
everything. I can put them from the file into an array, using this:

file_contents = []
f = File.open("RubyTokens.txt") or die "Unable to open file..."
f.each_line { |line| file_contents.push(line)}

But I have no idea how to take each line and put it into a hash table.
Is there any way to just read the line in, and put the whole line in as
a hash key/value pair?
