Oh Ben, Hash keys MUST be unique!
If you say something like: Acorn Drive => A Acorn Drive => B Acorn Drive will have the value B (the last one overwrites to previous). What you may need is a hash of arrays: Acorn Drive => ['A', 'B',] Aloha => Beau. -----Original Message----- From: Ben Crane [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 02, 2002 4:39 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: modification on hashes/unique values Hi, a slight change to the previous mail: if I've got a key (e.g. A, and I have 3 or 4 keys (which are all A) which correspond to different data... e.g. Acorn Drive is a key, but there are several parts the make up Acorn Drive...I want a key (Acorn drive) to be able to refer to EVERY part of it... so If I've got a hash, that looks like: Acorn Drive => A Acorn Drive => B etc... surely, if I match one key (Acorn Drive), it'll make multiple matches through the hash?? at the moment, I enter a key, and it only returns one record...have a missed the point completely?? how do I make multiple matches within a hash with one key only?
