Leaving out regexes is just not cool:

import sys,re
d={}
exec(re.sub(‘([^\s]*).*?([^\s]*?\n)’,r’d["\1"]=d.get(“\1″,0)+\2′,sys.stdin.read()))
print d

(ok, I’m not doing as much error checking)

Well done Katie! However, this is what I achived in Ruby in 63 chars!

m=Hash.new(0);STDIN.map{|l|m[l[/^\S+/]]+=l[/\d+\s+$/].to_i};p m

Well done katie :D

Goes to show when you decide to use regex for one problem, you just end up with two problems ;-)
