Re: [Rails] Parsing useful subtext from text file, and saving it to Mysql.

Ruby on Rails Monday, December 1, 2014

Hi again

" Isolate the area with the text you want " , example ?

This is how:

def read_file(file_name)

temp = File.open(file_name, "r").read

data = temp.split("\n")

lookup_item = temp.match(/\tSystem Information/)

puts lookup_item.to_s + " <------lookup item"

@my_match = data.index(lookup_item.to_s)

puts data[@my_match + 1]

puts data[@my_match + 2]

return @my_match

end

puts "Start"

puts read_file("./test_info.txt")

puts "End"

Ideally it looks like you have to grab a book of regular expressions.

It was the first thing I did :D

Now I need to find a way to use this^, in my rails project :D
