The following does what you want in one pass:
INP = ["DEBUGG=true", "auto=true", "dummy=empty",
"files=/Users/yvon/MacSOUP_proxad/proxad, /Users/yvon/MacSOUP_eclipse/
eclipse, /Users/yvon/MacSOUP_news.individual.net/individual"]
@h = {}
INP.each do |a|
k,v = a.split("=")
case v
when /true/ then @h[k] = true
when /false/ then @h[k] = false
when /,[\s]*/ then @h[k] = v.split(/,[\s]*/)
else @h[k] = v
end
end
It is easily extend to other cases if necessary. Whether or not it is
better or more Ruby-ish is for you to decide.
Hope this helps.
