in reply to converting a String to Hashtable

I can't think of a quicker way off hand but your query does beg the question.
Why did your hash end up in a string in the first place?
If you need to work on it, inside the hash might be simpler in the long run

    I get input string from a file. It was stored that way by some previous programmer.
