...and you can even get rid of that ugly if check every time through the 
loop:


str = 'projects.risks.Index.flash_downloading=Downloading.test'

key_str, val = str.split('=')
keys = key_str.split(/[.]/)

temp = master = {}
last = keys.pop

keys.each do |key|
  temp = temp[key] = {}
end

temp[last] = val

p master

--output:--
{"projects"=>{"risks"=>{"Index"=>{"flash_downloading"=>"Downloading.test"}}}}
