In a presentation I made sometime ago, I used these at the beginning :

File.open("script.rb") do |fichier|
  fichier.each do |ligne|
    if ligne.downcase.include? "ruby"
      puts ligne 
    end
  end
end

File.open("script.rb") do |f|
  f.each { |l| puts l if l=~/ruby/i }
end

# The Lottery here is 7 out of 36 balls.
(1..36).sort_by { rand }.slice(0,7).join(', ')

fct1 = lambda { |v| v.split(/ /).
          collect { |z| z.capitalize }.join(' ') }
fct2 = lambda { |v| v.split(//).
          collect { |c| c.ord }.join(',') }
         
fct1.call("this is a nice string.")
fct2.call("this is another nice string.")

require "open-uri"
open('http://www.google.com/') { |f| puts f.read }

HTH,

Fred
