Subject: Re: splitting with a regex & keeping a ref?

Robbert, yermej, David,

Thanks a bunch!
Here's what I finally came up with, in case anyone's bored enough to wonder.

file="/path/to/smb/file/sample.conf"
regex=/(\[[a-z0-9]+\])([^\[]*)/i
samba_config={}
File.open(file){|f| f.read()}.scan(regex) do
  |title,options|
  samba_config.store(title,{})
  options.strip.each() do
    |l|
    samba_config[title].store(l[/^[^=]*/].strip,l[/[^=]*[^\n]$/].strip)
  end
end
