Reading contents of file into a Map

[Bill Lee]

I am working on a script of reading the contents of a file directly into a map. I have no issues reading into list. But basically have a file that has 2 fields separated by a comma (i.e.

Chicago, IL
Sacramento, CA

Is this something that anyone has had experience with? Thanks.

What are you wanting for the key and value in the map? Something like...

[Chicago:IL]

???

We need more info as to what you are trying to achieve. This is just a guess.

Hi!
If you want a map with the city as key and the state as value, then try this:

def theList = ["Chicago, IL", "Sacramento, CA"]
theResult = theList.inject([:])
{
    theMap, theListItem ->
    def theEntry = theListItem.split(",")
    theMap.put(theEntry[0].trim(), theEntry[1].trim())
    theMap
}
println theResult

Best wishes!
