Subject: Re: Parsing Ruby with Ruby

Gene,

Thanks for the links. Perhaps I should describe what I'm trying to do a
bit better.

I'd like to write a program that could descend through a directory of Ruby
programs and generate summaries of what methods are called where. So,
optimal output for what I'd like to do is the file name parsed, the
methods found that are called within the file, and the classes those
methods are derived from.

So, I could point this program at a directory containing a Rails program
and find out, for example, how many times ActionController::Base#render
was called, and from what files.

Perhaps it's a bit more complicated that I'd hoped.

Thanks!
John
