Capture information with a split and maybe a match?

Ruby
1

Hi;
Here is my line of code that I need help in:
result_of_na_citrix=net group na-citrix /dom.split(" ")
This gets all the users in in it’s own index split on a space.
However, there is a bunch of garbage (stuff that I do not need to
capture) before the names of the users are listed. Here is an example

The request will be processed at a domain controller for domain
abc.com.

Group name NA-CITRIX
Comment Owner:John D.

Members

The list of users begins here.

I need to get the list of users ONLY. Basically, to capture info AFTER
the dashes -----------. I did a 20.times do, but each group has a
different information. The ONLY consistent thing is the list of users
that start AFTER the dashes,

If I understand your question, something like this should help.

str = “Group name NA-CITRIX\nComment Owner:John
Doe\nMembers\n” +
“-----------------------------------------------------” +
“--------------------------\nThe list of users begins here.”

str =~ /.?-{3,}.?(\w.*)/m
puts $1

Look into regular expressions and adjust as necessary.

Use the String#[] method with a regex to just return the portion
following
the dashes, and split that:

result_of_na_citrix = net group na-citrix /dom[/-+\n(.*)/m,1].split(" ")

I’d suggest:
separator =
“-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\n”
junk,users = net group na-citrix /dom.split(separator)
user_array = users.split(’ ')

YMMV
