Subject: Re: newbie: how to find & extract a string from a file

I'm sure someone will have a better way of doing this..  but..
Assuming it has <img src="/something.jpg">

##
imgs = []
IO.readlines("c:/somefile.html").each {|line| imgs << line.split("<img
src=\"")[1].to_s.split("\"")[0] if line.match("<img src=") }
puts imgs.join("\n")
##
