If you want help figuring out how to do this, I'll be glad to give you
advice, tho you'll have to write it. Doing something like this the
right way is going to be quite difficult unless you know where to
start, and even after that will be fairly tricky. Unless you're an
expert on parsing ruby, you need the assistance of someone (like me)
who is.

Of course, you could also do this the fragile/wrong way, using a lot
of regular expressions or something, in which case you'll probably be
able to manage it on your own.
