If I had to do this quickly (and without too much thought) I’d do  
something like this:

def process(text\_data, &blk)  
text\_data.split(/^$/m).each do |e|  
dta = e.strip.gsub(/;$/,’’).split(/\n/)  
yield \*(dta.slice!(0…5) + [dta])  
end  
end

Which you’d then use like this:

process(File.read(‘teszt.data’)) do |ny, ne, ados, adoa, to, ig,  
columns|  
puts “#{ny} :: #{ne} :: #{ados} :: #{adoa} :: #{to} :: #{ig}”  
p columns  
end

# =\> 0608A :: Teszt Kft :: 33445566222 :: :: 20060101 :: 20060131

# [“0A0001C002A 33445566222”, “0A0001C007A Teszt kft”]

# 0608M :: Oscar Wild :: 123456789 :: :: 20060101 :: 20060131

# [“0A0001C002A 33445566222”, “0A0001C007A Teszt kft”]

Obviously you’d change the output to suit your needs. Bear in mind I’ve  
not extensively tested this…
