From: Vikash Kumar Date: 2006-12-22T12:37:17+09:00 Subject: storing values in variables I am using the following code: require 'net/http' # read the page data http = Net::HTTP.new('kvcrpf.org', 80) resp, page = http.get('/achievements.htm', nil ) # BEGIN processing HTML def parse_html(data,tag) return data.scan(%r{<#{tag}\s*.*?>(.*?)}im).flatten end output = [] table_data = parse_html(page,"table") table_data.each do |table| out_row = [] row_data = parse_html(table,"tr") row_data.each do |row| cell_data = parse_html(row,"td") cell_data.each do |cell| cell.gsub!(%r{<.*?>},"") end out_row << cell_data end output << out_row end # END processing HTML # examine the result def parse_nested_array(array,tab = 0) n = 0 array.each do |item| if(item.size > 0) puts "#{"\t" * tab}[#{n}] {" if(item.class == Array) parse_nested_array(item,tab+1) else puts "#{"\t" * (tab+1)}#{item}" end puts "#{"\t" * tab}}" end n += 1 end end parse_nested_array(output[2][4]) It displays the output like this: [0] { 2004 } [1] { 65 } [2] { 58 } [3] { 89.23 } I want to store the value 2004, 65, 58, 89.23 in variables like this: aa = 2004 ab = 65 ac = 58 ad = 89.23 Please help me, in doing this.
