you could use YAML:


require 'yaml'

config_file = 'testreq.txt'

config = {:name => 'User', :address => 'Address'}
File.open(config_file, 'w') {|f| f.write(config.to_yaml) }
# or: File.open(config_file, 'w') {|f| YAML.dump(config, f) }

saved_config = YAML::load_file(config_file)
puts "Name: #{saved_config[:name]}"  #=> Name: User
