From: Steve Starr Date: 2006-01-05T00:55:18+09:00 Subject: Searching a file for keywords? I am trying to find out how to search a file and find certain key words then print them. Example: #!/usr/bin/ruby system("cat /proc/partitions > drives.txt") Output: 8 0 1007616 sda 8 1 1007600 sda1 3 0 33027622 hda 3 1 14651248 hda1 3 2 14651280 hda2 3 3 3719047 hda3 Now i would just want to print the word hda to the screen. Any help would be nice. Thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
