I'm parsing a data file with each_line, each section starts with a line that ends in ")". Each section has 2-3 subsections, delimited by blank lines. The original test for a new section was:
if line.end_with?(')')
However, that means the last section is never dealt with, since the "each_line" ends at EOF. What I currently have is a line to process the data once the each_line block is finished.
if data.count > 0
jobs << Job.new(data)
end
Full code below.
Thanks!
