Thank you Fever. You got it right!!. I want to retrieve the sentences (questions) and also their possible answers.

Sorry I did not mention it before, but the file with my-rules (patterns) should be associated to another file with one or more possible answer(s). Thus when it is a match (true) Formula-Rule, I have to retrieve the sentence (questions) and the answer(s) associated with that rule.

I will still use hash of arrays, won't I?, BUT the only thing is that I will have duplicate keys, if for each rule there are more than one answer. Can I have duplicates?, or for one key, I will have answers (one line) separate by a delimiter?

Thanks again.
Tita
