We don't know enough to really help you. It's a method that's stuck in 
the middle of other code, and it's not the Ruby way to do things, 
either. My guess is .. C#, or something like that.
Try this code skeleton:

def split_code s_code_file, s_list_file
  File.readlines(s_code_file).each do |line|
    case line
    when "&&&&&"

    when "====="

    end # end case
  end # end readlines
end # end method

It's a little cleaner. If you don't like the "case" in the middle, then 
stick to your if/else, which is fine ..

If you want to pass arguments to a method from the command line, then 
those arguments translate inside the Ruby program as an array of strings 
called ARGV, and you have to do something with those.
If you're confused, then it means you're still sane. Give us a little 
more info.
