Hi, thanks for the great, simple solution!!


The problem for me is that I do not know what the second value I am 
looking for is... :)

I am making an HTTP request to a site and I know one value to look for. 
The value I am interested in changes but is always 2 lines above the 
string I CAN find.

This code works: #if I want to retrieve 'a'

data = ['a','b','c']
found = data.index('c')
puts data[found-2]

Sadly I need it to work on a HTTP request so I store my data liek this:

got = Array.new
go = net::HTTP.new(a,b)
...
got = go.get('some_path')
...
i = got.index('some known string')
puts got[i-2] #print the secret string 2 lines above




In theory in my mind I can make it work, but in code, I can't/

I get an error:

undefined method `index' for #<Net::HTTPOK 200 OK readbody=true> 
(NoMethodError)


Thanks for spending time looking at my post.
