Well, the reason it's not working is that there is only one Dimview between
pairs, for a hash you need seperators between all elements. Here's a way to
do it, although I bet others can come up with a quicker/more efficient way:
<code>
my (%hash);
$_ = 'DimView 1 "All" DimView 2 "Some" DimView 3 "Most" DimView 4 "None"';
s/DimView file://g;
s/\"//g;
%hash = split( / / );
</code>
# Note, for those of you who have an option in your email program to
highlight web addresses the DimView line may have an extra file: in it.
Mine does *mumble* Took me a few minutes to figure out why!
