As Stefano said:

irb(main):001:0> $DATA = {
irb(main):002:1* 1234 => { 'open' => '1234-1',
irb(main):003:2*               'analyzed' => '1234-2',
irb(main):004:2*               'feedback' => '1234-3',
irb(main):005:2*               'closed' => '1234-4'
irb(main):006:2>             },
irb(main):007:1* 3455 => { 'open' => '3455-1',
irb(main):008:2*               'analyzed' => '34552',
irb(main):009:2*               'feedback' => '3455-3',
irb(main):010:2*               'closed' => '3455-4'
irb(main):011:2>             }}
=> {3455=>{"open"=>"3455-1", "analyzed"=>"34552", "closed"=>"3455-4",
"feedback"=>"3455-3"}, 1234=>{"open"=>"1234-1", "analyzed"=>"1234-2",
"closed"=>"1234-4", "feedback"=>"1234-3"}}
irb(main):012:0> $DATA.each do |k,v|

3455
1234


Hope this helps,
