Subject: Re: add to words syntaxes

Thanks, for the answers, but didnt worked. I try to clear my problem,
Here is the input:

0608A;
Teszt Kft;
33445566222;
;
20060101;
20060131;
0A0001C002A 33445566222
0A0001C007A Teszt kft
# this text repeat himself with other data several times

This, should look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1250"?>
<nyomtatvanyok>
  <nyomtatvany>
    <nyomtatvanyinformacio>
      <nyomtatvanyazonosito>0608A</nyomtatvanyazonosito>
      <adozo>
        <nev>Teszt kft</nev> # the first line from the txt
        <adoszam>33445566222</adoszam> # second line
        <adoazonosito></adoazonosito> #thrid line, in this txt is blank
      </adozo>
      <idoszak>
        <tol>20060101</tol> # fourth
        <ig>20060131</ig> # fifth
      </idoszak>
    </nyomtatvanyinformacio>
    <mezok>
      <mezo eazon="0A0001C002A">11111111122</mezo> # and the lines...
      <mezo eazon="0A0001C007A">Pr�ba C�g</mezo>
.....
</mezok></nyomtatvany></nyomtatvanyok>

So my problem is how can I get an XML source like above. For the columns
I already have this script:
outfile = ARGV.shift

lines = ARGF.readlines
marked_up_lines = lines.map do |line|
  words = line.split
  '<mezo eazon="' + words[0] + '">' + words[1] + '</mezo>' + "\n"
end

File.open(outfile,'w') do |file|
  file.write marked_up_lines.join
end

This works fine, but I dont know what to do with the first 6 lines to
bring it to look like above and how can I bring ruby to repeat himself
and what for a character need I to use for repeating..
Regards,

Daniel

Perhaps it's me not being awake properly, but it doesn't seem very clear
from your question exactly what you want to do? To clarify:

+ Are the lines you want to process always in sets of 3
  (or whatever number)? Or is it single-line, with some way to choose
  which tag goes on a given line?

+ What do you mean 'use another script' for the two-column
  lines? I note as well that it could be difficult to determine
  which lines are two column, since spaces seem to be allowed
  in the processed input anyway.

Anyway, I'm sure this isn't what you're after, but maybe it'll point you
in the right direction. Failing that, post a bit more detail and sample
input/output and I'm sure you'll get what you need.

s = "<your sample input, above>"
s.gsub(/^(.*)$/) { "<foo>#$1</foo>" }

# => "<foo>Teszt Kft</foo>
#     <foo>33445566222</foo>
#     <foo>;</foo>
#     <foo>20060101</foo>
#     <foo>20060131</foo>
#     <foo>0A0001C002A 33445566222</foo>
#     <foo>0A0001C007A Teszt kft</foo>"

s.map { |line| "<foo>#{line.chomp}</foo>\n" }.join
# => as above

s.map do |line|
  tag = (line =~ /^\d+$/) ? 'foo' : 'bar'
  "<#{tag}>#{line.chomp}</#{tag}>\n"
end.join
# => "<bar>Teszt Kft</bar>
      <foo>33445566222</foo>
      <bar>;</bar>
      <foo>20060101</foo>
      <foo>20060131</foo>
      <bar>0A0001C002A 33445566222</bar>
      <bar>0A0001C007A Teszt kft</bar>"
