Subject: Re: xml parsing in ruby

(ARGV[0].nil?) ? ("xmlfile.xml") : (ARGV[0])

The first ARGV is nil? The user didn't suplied any command line argument?
So use the "xmlfile.xml" as default.
Else, use the filename suplied by the user.

Try "xml2uppaal.rb xmlfile2.xml".

Regexp.new(/\w*_(\w*)/)

Search for something in the form of (anyword) + an underline +
(anyword) and "save" the word after the underline.

"\w*_(\w*)"

\w (any word character)
* 1 or more times
() delimiter for retrieving it after the search.

Play around with this site.
