Hi,
I have a compiled c program I use to do text processing.
It operates as a pipe:
cat sometext.txt | /usr/local/bin/my_c_program > othertext.txt
I want to use it to process text which is typed into
a textarea field in an HTML form.
What are some options I have to make use of this
executable so I could use it as a text filter inside
of Rails?

Try Kernel#popen
[http://corelib.rubyonrails.org/classes/IO.html#M001289 ].

I’m writing tests and want to move my development data into my test
db. I do a “rake db:data:dump MODEL=My_modelname” and get a fixtures
file that looks like this:
–
!ruby/object:My_modelname
attributes:
name: nil
notes:
id: “1”
state:
!ruby/object:My_modelname
attributes:
name: rdfadd
notes:
id: “2”
state:
.
.
.
etc
This format is rejected by the fixtures() method. To get it to work I
have to take four (!) manual steps:
erase the leading “–” line
erase the “- !ruby/object:My_modelname” lines
erase the leading double-space before “attributes”
give each fixture record a unique name
So when I’m done it looks like this:
rec_1:
name: nil
notes:
id: “1”
state:
rec_2:
name: rdfadd
notes:
id: “2”
state:
I thought the whole point was the the dump makes YML files that can
go straight into testing? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!
