Afternoon all,

I have a set of files that are downloaded via ftp which I iterate over and
grab account numbers are their balances.  I have been able to iterate over
the individual lines and get my data however the account balances are gather
by getting their specific position on current line and the position just
before the account balance is a "0" or a "-", which indicates if the balance
is a positive or a negative number.

My issue is what is the best way to have ruby indicate this float number as
a negative number so when I compare account balances from the current day
and the previous that the difference is calculated correctly?

Thanks in advance.
Tim
