You can try doing something like this:

mystring = “This is a sample code”  
substring = “sample”  
start\_ss = mystring.index(substring)  
mystring[start\_ss, substring.length]

Bung it into a parser like hpricot? or if it’s never gone to change  
much beyond that then munge it by hand with a few regexps

thanks everyone, i think fred’s regexps is the way to go.  
i have been testing using split and gsub but still dont quite get it  
right.  
i just need to get value inside , &  
 and then save those values to database.  
can anyone provide code for gsub/split?

To pull from the RESULT tags…

result.match(/(.\*)\</RESULT\>/)[1]

You can modify it for the others. 🙂
