Hey Gregory,

Thanks for your response.

Following is the code snippet that i am trying to test :


basedir = ARGV[0]

if (ARGV[0])
    contains = Dir.new(basedir).entries
    for file in contains
        if (file != "." && file !="..")
            tokens = file.split("-");
            model = tokens[0]
            tokens1 = tokens[2].split(".xm")
            dealer = tokens1[0]
            puts model + "," + dealer + "," + basedir + "/" + file
            getallocprsr = GetAllocationsParser.new
            getallocprsr.parsefile(basedir + "/" + file)
            sql = "UPDATE Validations set getAlloc = " +
getallocprsr.allocation.to_s
            sql = sql + " where DealerName like '" + dealer + "' and
Vehicleline like '" + model + "'"
            puts sql
            db.updateQuery(sql)
        end
    end
else

    puts "Usage :"
    puts ""
    puts "$> ruby a.rb <basedir> "
    puts ""
    puts "basedir : This is the base directory where the getAllocations
responses"
    puts "          can be found"
    puts ""
end
db.close



Thanks,

Disha
