Hi Guyz, back with a new problem 🙂
Actually the situation is that i have a txt file or can be html file. In
that file the contents are written as:-
Model Name:- ABC
Item Name :- ABC
There are hundreds of lines for it. Now, i am matching these line and
where ever i’ll find the line model name. I’ll get it. So right now i am
doing it as,
if file\_line.match(“Model Name”) … Is there any other way to do it
using parsers? I mean using Hpricot or else … want to know every
possible way to do this.
Thanks

When that text is contained in a HTML file, is it alawys enclosed in the
same
HTML tag?

I am not using any tags for text. Ok leave html part. Help me only with
text file. 🙂

Then using pure regex is good enough. If you want something “cooler” try
TreeTop parser (very friendly and powerful).
