Hi, Phillip
Here comes the new problem.
I want to use this gsub to substitue the spaces in the front of some 
lines in a XML file. I have tried your method with string variable, but 
it seems not work for this XML file. I check this file very carefully, I 
found the spaces before some lines are 3 tabs.



<code>
require 'fileutils'

#Some basic variables
LPT_FILE_NAME="abc.xml"

File.file? LPT_FILE_NAME
#Open XML file

f = File.open(LPT_FILE_NAME)
begin
        while (line = f.readline)
                line.chomp
                if line =~ /<Properties>/
                        while ( line !~ /<\/Properties>/ && line = 
f.readline)
                                #puts line.gsub /^\/t+/,"" if line =~ 
/<Name>/
                                if line =~ /<Name>/
                                        name = line..gsub /^\/s+/,""
                                        puts name

                                end
                        end
                end
        end
rescue EOFError
f.close
end

</code>


The abc.xml file should simplely look like this:
<code>
    <Properties>
      <Name>TestData</Name>
      <LoopCount>1</LoopCount>
      <Priority>100</Priority>
    </Properties>
</code>

Could you give me a hand?
Thank you.

Milo
