Using Ruby to read .properties file

Ruby
1

Hi

I am working on a project in which I need to read and write the
.properties files. Is there a way to do this in Ruby … other than
writing code from scratch.
Thanks in advance.

Sanchit

What is a .properties file? After some googling it looks like it’s a
Java thing. Here’s a project: http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/
propertyfile/

(Two hints, 1) it’s easier to help when your question is specific and
gives all the details and 2) Google is your friend (http://

Have a look at yaml, It allows you to easily save objects in files and
read them. You can have an optionshash and just
File.open(propertiesfile, “w+”) { |f| f.puts( optionshash.to_yaml ) }

hash = YAML.load( propertiesfile )
