Multilines string to hash

Hi all,

I have two lines of this type as output of a cli command:

Source | Status | Enable | IP address | Subnet mask

Static | Disabled | true | 2.2.2.2 | 255.255.0.0

I would like create a hash :

{“Source”=>“Static”, “Status”=>“Disabled”, “Enable”=>“true”, "IP
address "=>“2.2.2.2”, “Subnet mask”=>“255.255.0.0” }

Thank you

use scan, and zip, flatten and Hash[]:
txt.scan(/[\w\d.]/)
[1,2,3].zip([‘a’,‘b’,‘c’]) >> [1,a],[2,b]…
[[1,2],[2,3],[4,5]].flatten >> [1,2,1,3,4,5]
Hash[1,2,3,4] >> {1=>2, 3=>4}

Let me guess: this is some relational database’s CLI. I’d export as CSV
and then use Ruby’s CSV to load the file contents and convert them to
the Hash.

There is no database. This cli command displays results in that format
and I would like to have hash structure to run tests.
