Subject: awk to ruby 1.9

Hello,

I'm a total newbe. I'm trying to figure out how to grab a specific Xth character from a .log and put it into an array.

So far, I've got to this code snippet:

------------
# encoding: utf-8
class ReadIPs
  def initialize
    @read_ips = []
  end

  def get_ips(filename)
    ips = [] # make a list of ip addressses
    File.foreach(filename) do |line|
       puts "#{line}" if line =~ /Ban/
       end
  end
end

ipadds = ReadIPs.new
a = ipadds.get_ips("fail2ban.log")
--------------


The output though parses lines the following: 

2009-11-19 00:31:29,928 fail2ban.actions: WARNING [ssh-ipfw] Ban 203.169.139.171


Now, I'd like to isolate the IP and put it into an Array.

I would like to use the output from the cli: "$ grep Ban fail2ban.log|awk -F "Ban" '{print $2}'"

 60.12.200.xx
 193.193.221.xx
 85.72.xx.xx
 124.207.xx.xx
