As Riamus mentioned, it is easier to have hash table items with one piece of data in each item. If the type of pieces of data in your hash table items is always the same for each item, you could have separate hash tables for each type of data.
Example
$hget(name,$nick)
$hget(address,$nick)
$hget(age,$nick)
etc.
Or you could add suffixes to the items on a single table.
Example:
$hget(table,$+($nick,.name))
$hget(table,$+($nick,.address))
$hget(table,$+($nick,.age))
etc.
If the pieces of data aren't named like that, you could add numbers as suffixes.
Example:
$hget(table,$+($nick,.1))
$hget(table,$+($nick,.2))
$hget(table,$+($nick,.3))
etc.
Obviously, these suggestions may not work in your specific situation, but they are good tips for future reference.
