So, I open a file, I remove blanks and so on, and I record the information in a data structure. Then I open other file, remove blanks and so on, and I record this new information in other data structure. Now I have preprocessed information of a pair of texts, and then I apply other processing to it. I repeat previous steps for each text. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
