I have some data that comes out of a program in the format as seen at the bottom. I trying to pull out the data from within the {} and hopfully build multilevel hash with "name" being the top level. I'm sure I can do it with several while and if's to test going in and out of a new set of brackets but I don't like that idea and looking for something a little cleaner and more efficient. Building the hash will be easy once I can get it all into a manageable format. Thanks for any assistance. Felix2000
