I dont fully understand your question, also i have no idea what #gsub does.
do you start from a dictionary ? or a string ? it seems that you want to create a dictionary from a particular string. Could you provide an example of such string, i could help you in finding the correct messages of String/Stream to send. The #gsub message, seems pertinent to all Strings? or is a special behavior for your special case?
