I need to get a value from a hashTable.
The key is stored in $1.
hashTable["$1"] is using the string "$1" as key, but ofcourse I need the value that was captured in $1, and not just the string "$1".

How can I do this. I cannot store $1 in another variable.

Im using C#, VS2003

I'm not sure what you mean by "I cannot store $1 in another variable."

Usually you just call the value from the hashtable like this:

hashTable["$1"]

That will return the object for that key.
