These rspec fils are in an HTML format. I want to be able to grab the durations and htmls and write to a textfile. However I can not figure out how to pull the 1 line from the html. When I use puts it shows the whole html. Will you help me grab one line out of the html? Here is my snippet. require "fileutils" Dir["C:/Respecs/*.html"].each do |htmlfile| readhtml = File.read(htmlfile) if readhtml.include?("seconds") == true htmlbase = File.basename(htmlfile) puts htmlbase #<--shows full html file not just the line that "seconds" is located on. end -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
