Split the records into fields, compare the fields to each other:

table.each { |record|
fields = record.split("\t") # assuming tabs as field separator
print “Found it!” if fields[3] == fields[5]
}

Maybe it would be more productive and educational if you posted your
code
and asked specific questions.

You are on the wrong mailing list my friend. You want the the Ruby on
Rails forum which can be found on the same site as you used to post
here.
