Subject: Re: parsing text into usablle numerical data

Sot he code as taken from Chris' post returns this error:

read_data.rb:72:in `[]=': no implicit conversion from nil to integer 
(TypeError)
        from read_data.rb:72
        from read_data.rb:69:in `foreach'
        from read_data.rb:69

The code looks like this with line numbers...

     69         File.foreach files_to_parse[i].to_s do |line|
     70                 next if line.strip == ''
     71                 idx, *dat = line.scan(/\d+/).map {|s| s.to_i}
     72                 raw_data[idx] = dat
     73         end
     74         puts raw_data

I suspect it may be a problem in the formatting of the data... perhaps 
there is some way to remove any non-integer characters eg. delimiting 
chars before parsing?
