Do you want to store the dictionary data as structured text and then parse it and put it into a Ruby hash? And do you want to use Ruby's syntax to make up your own data format? If so: Why not use a common data format like XML or JSON? Those are mature and already have parsers. And if you're going to have a lot of data, you're better off using a database, anyway. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
