Howdy!
So I am trying to parse a bit of an ugly text file to a new file, and
hence read each line of the old file, check the line for some conditions
and then execute some other stuff, and then write out some results to a
new file. Here is what I came up with:
my_file = File.new(“New_file.txt”, “w+”)
File.foreach(“LOG02.txt”) do |line|
if line =~/^$GPRMC/.
my_file.puts line
else
print “I did not read this line: #{line}”
end
end
I have a feeling that I am missing something stupid but not quite sure
what it is.
Good karma for a solution

Okay solved my problem, it was something stupid, like the period I
didn’t see after my line match statement.
Nothing to see here people, move along…
