Hi, I had a question about parsing just one line at a time beforehand and now I'm working on a program to parse multiple items on each line-something like the following: name, age, gender Bob, 32, M Stacy, 14, F ... ... How do I parse 'Bob', knowing it's the first element on the line, '32' is the second, 'M' is the last...I've been reading about regular expressions. Is this the best way to solve this problem? And how exactly do you use them? Thanks!! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
