Subject: Re: parsing text into usablle numerical data


Still having some problems with this program. I'm getting a TypeError 
when the value of

dx, *dat = line.scan(/\d+/).map.compact
is nil

Any suggestions on how to handle this? my current implementation looks 
like this:

raw_data = Array.new
File.foreach files_to_parse[i].to_s do |line|
    idx, *dat = line.scan(/\d+/).map.compact! {|s| s.to_i}
    raw_data[idx] = dat
end

but if I include a conditional statement that excludes nil inside this 
block
{|s| s.to_i}

then the size of the array changes, which i need to avoid.
