Probably not the best way of doing it but...

file = File.readlines("rubyscript.rb")
res = []
file.each do |x|
 res << x
end

# then using regular expressions you could filter out the upper case 
words
# to be more accurate you could develop a gsub or iteration that 
includes the
# word 'class'

i forget the reg. exp. for it but i believe its along the lines of 
/[A-Z]/
or close to that
