Let's say i have the following lines in a file ABC12AX3456XYZ ABC123HGNasdfg How do I ask ruby to grab character 3-8 on each line and display them on the screen? I would really appreciate if someone could show it by using regular expressions. thanks tabing16 -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
