Have you tried implementing that? Did it work? If not, what happened?

If you know that the disk name will always follow (ie. appear below) the 
status, try using a flip flop:

   File.foreach("status.txt") do |line|
     if line[/Status: Failed/] .. line[/Status: OK/]
       puts line if line[/Disk Name:/]
     end
   end
