Subject: Question - looking for library to use for query like code?

Can this be done with Ruby? (this may be a shot in the dark)

Say you have a text file with a lot of data and you want to group all of
your data by a specific value. Is there a way to code something in ruby
similar to a query that you would create using sql. Can this even be
done using Ruby? And if so, is there a library that you can refer me to?
If not, do you know any alternative ways? Thanks, MC

example of text:

auto, model
car, honda
truck, chevy
car, nissan
truck, toyota
truck, ford


how i'd like it to look:

car, honda, nissan,
truck, chevy, toyota, ford
