in reply to trying to decide best data structure for problem at hand.

I am trying to decide on what data structure to use

I think mine would look something like:

{ 'nguyenhe' => { 'hostname1' => '1929 20 Henry Nguyen,555-555-555', }, 'bjose' => { 'hostname1' => '1990 20 Bobby Jose,x3338', 'hostname2' => '1995 20 Bobby Jose,x3338' }, 'vjain' => { 'hostname2' => '2098 20 Vineet Kumar Jain, offshore' }, 'llai' => { 'hostname2' => '2122 20 Levius Laibjose' }, }
