Split into hash

[Lee Jarvis]

Ok guys, I have a file which looks something like this:

one=1
two=2
three=something
four=something else

I want to read each line into a hash, key=value..

I have tried something like

File.open('file').each do |line|
line.split(/=/){|a,b| #something}

but that's kind of how far i get.. The only way i know of is reading
them all into an array of arrays and turning that into a hash, Is there
a better idea?

Thanks in advance

Ok now i have

a = Hash.new
File.open('file').each do |line|
b,c = line.split(/=/)
a = c
end


Which works, but im sure there are better ways out there?

Hash[*File.read(filename).scan(/^.*=.*$/).flatten]


HTH,

Thanks very much everyone, That's a great help

Here's another one:

h = {}
File.foreach("file") do |line|
h[$1]=$2 if /^([^=]*)=([^=]*)$/ =~ line
end

Kind regards
