[]=(name, value) public

Stores an individual Ruby object or a hierarchy of Ruby objects in the data store file under the root name. Assigning to a name already in the data store clobbers the old data.

Example:

require “pstore”

store = PStore.new(“data_file.pstore”) store.transaction do # begin transaction

# load some data into the store...
store[:single_object] = "My data..."
store[:obj_heirarchy] = { "Kev Jackson" => ["rational.rb", "pstore.rb"],
                          "James Gray"  => ["erb.rb", "pstore.rb"] }

end # commit changes to data store file

WARNING: This method is only valid in a PStore#transaction and it cannot be read-only. It will raise PStore::Error if called at any other time.
