However, I try to do this: puts hash[")"] And it returns "nil." ")" is definitely in the text file, and definitely in the hash table. But it not finding it. I did this: hash.each_key { |key| puts key } And it shows all the keys, but it's still not finding it when I do a simple lookup: puts hash[")"] Is there something simple I am missing? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
