I have one yaml file "content.yml" which has content,

key: !DBClass
    debug: Y

    name: John
    phone: 487394

As, I am trying to load the file via,

obj= YAML.load(File.open("content.yml"))

But i dont know that how to acess the individual variable from this
content.
for eg, How do i will get the Directory or name or phone ?

There should be some code that defines the DBClass type for YAML (maybe you can check with whoever wrote that data?). In the meantime, you can do this:

require 'yaml'

h = YAML.load(DATA)["key"].instance_variable_get(:@value)

p h # {"name"=>"John", "Directory"=>"/var/tmp", "phone"=>487394, "debug"=>"Y"}

p h["Directory"] # "/var/tmp"

__END__
