Subject: Re: How to delete array element and add to previous element

I reposting my last response since there is no edit on this forum.

Sorry about the syntax.  I was just trying to show the array, it was not
intended to be ruby code.  What Im trying to do is read a text file and
then make sense of the data in that text file and store that info in a
database.  I have managed to sort out into the arrays but need to get
the POS2c etc elements into the same array (im guessing thats the best
way to do it).

For example here is code that im shuffling:

49  7  RP13,RP15,RP17,RP19,RP24,  12X2  33XD  Wireless, Independent, 5%
       RP32,RP33
50  4  RP27,RP28,RP30,RP31  10XC4  3X567  Network, Isolated, 5%
51  31  R1,R2,R8,R30,R32,R33,R35,  0603,R10K,1%  0603  3%,1/12W
        R37,R39,R41,R42,R43,R49,
        R50,R51,R52,R58,R68,R69,
        R71,R72,R74,R85,R95,R117,
        R129,R130,R155,R156,R158,
        R160

What I've done is split the text up into lines stored all the lines in
an array with text.strip.split("\n")  But as you can see the R71, R129,
the elements in the third column continue on the next line.  I need a
way to get them into one place.  Because those elements that are on the
next line are a continuation of the third column element.  The elements 
on the line are separated by tabs.
