Subject: Parsing a line into a hash table...

All-

Currently I parse tab-delimited lines in a text file into a 1D array called "field" thusly:

IO.foreach("./control/packages.txt") { |x|
    field = x.chop.split('\t')
    do_stuff
}

Question: How can I parse these lines into values for a pre-defined hash table. (My objective is to give each field a name rather than a number.)

Thanks.
