From: Robb Date: 2008-07-19T11:59:56+09:00 Subject: Suggestions for a parsing strategy? Hi all, I have input strings that can look like this: Common, Commerc(e, ial) I need to parse these into the three words that this represents: Common, Commerce, Commercial. I'm a little new to ruby, and hence wondering what direction would be best to go in? (.scan, regexes ... something else?) For me, the complication I'm not sure how to deal with is the two "levels" of the comma as a separator. Thanks, Robb
